ELEVEN ACRES BY THE LAKE

Mavenlus DeskFICTION

David's family had owned land near the lake for generations.

Nothing enormous.

A little over eleven acres, mostly trees and sloping ground, with a narrow section touching the water.

David loved it.

Before Michael was born, we used to drive there on Sunday mornings carrying coffee and grocery-store doughnuts.

He would stand beneath the oak and describe a house that existed only in his imagination.
