Oh that is sweet S.E., with just a perfect touch of the hair rising, feeling the boat passing over that hole! Given that natural narrative coming from Hank, I think this one really begs for an audio reading!
I loved the story, and the recipe for cooking and serving trout on toast had me salivating. Actually, my wife and I love trout. There is a wonderful 'folksy' feeling to the story, almost like men gathered around the ole cracker barrel, but there is also more than a tone of warming about the strange disappearances. I'll be around for more of your writing, S.E.
I love Hank so much!! Also, as someone who’s afraid of deep water and mysterious water-dwelling creatures, the hole in Lake Damascus gives me chills. 🫣
Boy, this stuff beats the crap out of the incoherent college think pieces clogging the feed. Nice to see someone talking about reality, and telling a story. I liked the start. I would've liked to see you renew it about a 1/3 way down and move onto another action. But a pleasure regardless. Keep'em coming.
I could buy Hank a coffee and listen to him for hours. Now I want to go fishing with him too.
And investigate that lake!
This is really funny -- the nonstop talk. Bet that guy's eyes were glazing over. Some interesting geographical information while you were at it.
LOREMASTER HANK RIDES AGAIN!
Was the hole in lake damascus always a feature of Ferris Island lore??? S p o o k y addition to the geography…

Oooooof do NOT go fishing in that hole!!!
I should read the rest of the Ferris island, to get more context. As always, love your writing

Me too! I was reading thinking 'there is no way i'll be swimming in that lake!' Not even paddling if I'm honest hahaha

Nice work
Fantastic stream-of-consciousness characterization!
I adore hearing from Hank, and I would love to get him in a booth at Seavend General Store, keep his coffee topped up and just let him talk for hours.
