Hi everyone! This is Amy Medek, and I wanted to try out this story I thought about based off of Kelpie myths I've heard about. Hope you guys have fun with it and please post anything helpful (constructive criticism, if you liked it or not, etc.). Oh, and just to let you know, this story is mine so please don't steal it.  (If you guys want to skip this chapter you can.  I'm making a chapter that will be listed that has basically the same stuff in it, just written better.)

If Only
Mr. Samuels panted, shivering violently. Not from the cold, but from a frightfully real nightmarish sleep. Once again, he dreamt of her. And once again he felt the pain of loss. If only he hadn't let her and their daughter go so perilously close to that stupid animal at the Mourning Pool of God's Tears. If only he had been paying enough attention. If only he had the choice to save both his daughter and his wife that day.
Mr. Samuels gasped for air in ragged breaths. He could've done so many things, if only he had been paying attention. If only he hadn't been...
He stood, doing his best to contain his emotions. Blinking away the tiredness, he blearily made it to the nearest bottle and poured a generous serving. "If only-"
Mr. Samuels shook his head, clearing his thoughts. He smiled mirthlessly. "Forget it."
He downed the glass.
