All James could see was blurs of light. Then a vast body of water appeared in front of him.
James stopped dead in his tracks and soaked in the beauty of the infamous Lake Lanier.
The sun was high in the sky, yet no birds chirped and no deer were in sight.
Strange.
"Let's see if I'm fast enough to run on water," James said to himself.
He put his left foot behind him and took off like a bullet, eyes open and head straight up, dirt doesn't feel like this.
James looked around him, he was running across the lake with ease until he looked down and was staring at a man who matched Jame's speed.
The man leaped from underwater and grabbed James.
"You are traveling on grounds that don't belong to you," the shirtless man said.
James pulled back and punched him across his face, all in one swift move.
"I've had it with you mystical freaks," James said out loud.
The man was far from James when he appeared in front of James.
"I don't have time for these games," the man yelled. He raised his hand and a wall of water raised above James' head then crashed on top of him.
