winter. Storms have been known to come up<br />
out of nowhere, swallow ships right up, and<br />
take <strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong>ir watery grave.”<br />
Christina shivered. After hearing<br />
Papa’s story about <strong>the</strong> shipwrecks, she<br />
was even more frightened to go boating in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Mimi.<br />
“Cool!” Grant said. “I’m sure glad it’s<br />
not a lake m<strong>on</strong>ster.”<br />
Papa laughed and tousled Grant’s<br />
already messy bl<strong>on</strong>d hair. “<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>re’s no such<br />
thing as a lake m<strong>on</strong>ster.”<br />
“Oh, <strong>the</strong>re just might be,” a voice said.<br />
It was <strong>the</strong> hotel desk clerk. “Sorry for butting<br />
in,” he c<strong>on</strong>tinued, “but <strong>the</strong>re’s a local legend<br />
about a m<strong>on</strong>ster named Bessie. She’s sort of<br />
like Nessie, <strong>the</strong> m<strong>on</strong>ster in Loch Ness in<br />
Scotland. Well, mariners have been seeing our<br />
Bessie for centuries, up and down Lake Erie.”<br />
Christina felt goose bumps rise <strong>on</strong> her<br />
arms and legs. She leaned over and whispered<br />
to Grant, “<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> text message!”<br />
Grant shivered, and slipped his hand<br />
into Christina’s. Her fingernails dug into<br />
his palm.<br />
