Uncle Riley

This work is chapter 2 of the "Tales from the Darklands" series.  Check out my website at www.randallstandridge.com

Once, there was a goddess who roamed the forests that border the Darklands.  One day, a mortal man wandered into her domain, and she fell in love with him on sight.  For a time, they lived happily.  As the years passed, however, she remained beautiful and young, but he aged, as all mortals do.  Upon his death, the goddess was so overcome with grief that her tears formed a lake.  To this day, all who foolishly wander too close to the Lake of Sorrows are drawn into its dark waters...but they do not die.  They stand on the lake bed, looking upwards and weeping, as the eternal storms thunder and roil overhead.
