The Lake

There once was this boy around the age of 17 who's name was James who lived in town full of mystery's and not the good kind. People disappearing with no trace, random things breaking in town, the towns lake getting really hot even on the coldest nights and so on. Then one day James decided to investigate one particular mystery that he had his kind rapped around. He had heard some stories of giant bear in the woods close to the lake. Now James was a little skeptical because that's also where a lot of missing people have been before they actually went missing. So on one of the nights that the lake would warm up, James set out to see if it had anything to do with the giant bear and missing people. It was around 1 in the morning and the lake began to bubble. James watched to the lake from about ten yards away and was very vigilant. To James's surprise the only weird thing that happened that night was just the lake. So after a few hours James decided to go home and get some sleep for the next night. The next day comes and James turns on the news to see a missing person report but instead there was also a caption saying "1 missing two dead". The news report took place by the lake and you could see ambulance behind the reporter and one body going into the ambulance and another being fished out of the lake. The reporter said they were badly beaten looked as if they were ripped apart by large animal. James thought that was impossible since he had been at the lake all night and saw nothing but the lake warm up and bubble. Could there have been something he had missed? James decided to bring a camera on his next trip to lake. He had gone at about the same time as he did last time but something had changed since he'd been there last. In the spot he had been before were giant animal like foot prints. They looked as if they belonged to a mountain lion ten times its regular size or even the giant bear everyone had been taking about. But then it hit James.
