The Monster of the Lake

Once a traveller came to a lake 
to quench his thirst with water
but as he immersed his hands in the deep
he experienced someone pulling him.
Now the traveller was afraid
who was pulling his hand
was it a ghost or a beast
or was it the monster of the land.
The traveller tried to save himself
he wrestled with the unknown
but his hands were tangled in the weeds
and the traveller was slowly dragged from the shore.
His resistance was useless
he had lost himself
and a new devil took birth in him
which rests at the bottom of the lake.
Now he waits for his prey inside the lake
and as it comes he quenches his thirst with blood.
