My Kind of Story: Under the Water

I'd like to share some stories with you.  These are fictional pieces I've written and range from 1,500-7,000 words in length.  They consist of many different themes and were a joy to write.  It is my sincerest hope that you find enjoyment in them as well, flaws and all!

So go make some coffee, find a little nook, and dive on in.

When I close my eyes, I can still see her on the dock.  I see her feet dangling above the water and her gaze set downward beneath its surface.  Of all there was to enjoy at the cabin, she preferred this the most.  It wasn't uncommon for her to spend an hour or more there at the lake.  I'd sometimes see her through the window and she looked like a painting, always so still.  This was my sisters favorite place to be.  Her name was Caiden.  

"Sister's for life," we used to say.  I was only ten when she was taken; she was six.  The investigation took its course, but her body was never discovered.  It carried on for a time and some friends of my parents even organized search parties to search the forest.  I knew they wouldn't find her, though.  And to be honest, I don't think Caiden wanted to be found.  I knew the day would come when the investigation would be over and it'd be quiet again.  And it was so.
