The Lake

**Introduction for the reader:
Fairly inspired by some article-writing exercise I had in English and the Fountain. I had an old wattpad account but I was 13 and it was a recognition flop, apparently I was also from Los Angeles and THE NAME WAS MY XBOX USERNAME BACK THEN PLS DON'T MAKE FUN OK, I was 13 that's child abuse, I guess?¿ There's only one story there, and it's shit (in retrospect), but you can read it at user:"iapexsparks" or at: https://www.wattpad.com/48484678-salvation-short-story

**Description (for Part 1:)
A boy named Damian, four, who has recently moved to Australia with his family, is struck with the realities of adult life too early... yet he's learned to cope. This first part details how he handles the degeneration of his family, and how he handles the muddy pond of melancholy and misery his life is wallowing in. Although the "Lake" itself has been merely covered, a lot more about the fantastical world it inspirits will follow. A coming of age, heavily-descriptive story -more of like depicting a painting, if that makes sense-, that will be divided into multiple installments. The story does not include any expansive themes at a given time, but instead focuses on the emotions, and the tiny tidbits that effectively contribute to delivering the realism of the moments the characters live.

P.S. I changed all "mama"s to "mum"s because abbas hinted it sounds like Forrest Gump and I can't get that image out of my head
