The Canoe and Brett's Story

"I was almost a quarter mile from the point on the shore where lena would have pushed off in the canoe. I turned back, and i called bret's name out a couple of times, and i got no answer." "The furthest i was willing to go was this little landmark on the water here,. This beaten old pier that was the property of the people who owned a a lightless house up the ridge," he said. 'And i saw something there at the edge of the beams reach' The body had been severed from some one's body, several inches above the elbow. And as i did soi saw the rest of the body in the dark.'
