Have you ever swam in a shallow, dark lake? Well, I live on a lake so I do quite often. The dark, foggy nights evoke memories of my grandfather's stories about mysterious creatures. Lake Cumberland is rumored to hold 200 lb catfish and alligators. I only fear what I do not know, so the bottom of a murky lake is a logical fear for me. When I swim, I avoid touching the bottom so i do not get eaten by an alligator. I am afraid of what I do not know.
