                      THE HORROR AT LAKE HARMONY

Time went by, but Megwa never forgot his mission, his act of vengeance.  One day a member of the tribe reported that the eyes of The Ancients had taken on the red glow.  They knew the time would soon come, the special night. The night when the eyes of The Ancients would glow; glow as coals in the night.  This was the night they could be destroyed.  For once this night was over, they would regain new strength, new vigor as four more members of the tribe would be gone forever.  As the eyes of The Ancients glowed their fiercest, the natives crept onto the hill above their cave, and with the earth already loosened from their previous night’s work, caused a deafening roar as the loosened earth cascaded down the hill and covered the entrance of the cave.  The Ancients were never seen again.

As time passed, The Ancients’ story became legend.  Yet there were times when eerie moans, like the earth itself was in pain, would come from the area of the two hills which the legend had described as the home of The Ancients.  As time blurred the story of The Ancients, the haunting moans persisted; credited to the wind howling through the narrow valley between the two hills.
