The Lake
My sister lost her life at The Lake. A tranquil spot on the North East American coastline, close to Nova Scotia but not quite there, hidden and guarded by a thick wall of trees, crags impossible to navigate on foot and the occasional brown bear. Our town has one way in and one way out, built as a trading post between Canada and the US in the 1800s. It grew, then declined and what’s left is a small village with The Lake in the center. Too small for motor craft but kayaks and canoes are a-plenty throughout the year. At some point in time, people stopped calling The Lake by its proper name. It was, like most other bodies of water around these parts, named by the French fur traders who came to this part of America in search of Something Greater. Or to simply get away from a divided Europe. Le Lac Généreux soon became known as The Genie Lake in the 60s, 70s and 80s, developed into Lake G during the transition to the new Millennium, and simply became The Lake once the progressives started coming here for recreation.
