As I feared. I was stiffer than a two-by-two as I rousted myself off the porch and climbed into the truck. My destination-Wilde’s tavern, I only how the coffee is as strong as the brew. The hike to the Wilde’s resort proved to further than I First anticipated. But what did I expect? The paper said in bold letters - Wilde’s resort, a a remote and isolated getaway - no matter, I thought of the isolation more as a perk then anything. What writers doesn’t want a small private lake cabin to get away for a few weeks.

I sat down on the table and ordered a meal. There were a few other guests. The scene reminded me of a horror flick I once watched where the entire town feed off of tourists. Still I remained hopeful that Wilde’s was nothing more then a small tavern on the edge on the lake where fisherman told tales and swapped tackle and how to bait stories.

What kind of fodder is that for a writer. So when I overheard two of these gents chatting away I decided to jot down some notes, you know, as inspiration. It was not until I had returned to my cabin that I actually read what I wrote. And to the day I still don’t believe a word of it, even thought I know it all to be true as the morning sunrise.

It stared out as a classic story of the deep. You know, that monster the rises out- that kind of thing. Anyways this story came with a twist. A reversal if you will. You see people just assume that the deep is the water or a well. They never take the time to understand whats between the lies.

The deep is more of an awaking. A new consciousness. An manifestation of what the mind feels into what the body becomes. As a writer, my mind wonder all over the place, but here and now I though only of that horror flick. Thats when the first knock rapped on the door. Followed by the front window and then the bedroom window and finally the breaking of the kitchen window.

I doubt I will survive this so let me leave you with this parting thought. If your ever finding yourself at Wilde’s resort in Disdain MN- be sure to think happy thoughts- maybe a musical.
