Wallkill Lagoon, by Blaze McRob, is a short story that tells you the unknown can exist anywhere. Take for example the Wallkill River, a rather unpretentious river in an area traveled by many. Yet there are urban legends surrounding what lives within its depths. Truth? Fiction? Read my story and see for yourself.

Here are the opening paragraphs of my tale:

******

The humidity is overpowering on this hot August night. All the weather indicators were for a much more temperate evening, but Mother Nature doesn't listen to the prognosticators of highs and lows and which fronts are supposed to move in. She's fickle and does what she damned well wants to.

There is not so much as a wisp of a breeze, and the air carries nary a sound of the usual bullfrog concert present on most evenings like this. But . . . there is a decided uneasiness to the lagoon that goes beyond the silence. This section of the Wallkill River is an anomaly to the upper reaches of the waterway which are usually swift as most trout streams are. Off to the side of the main current resides a back-water slough which drops off into the depths of a pool of water so deep and dark as to render any kind of visibility impossible.
