DREAMS LAKE

Dreams Lake is a small town in Nowhere, a fictional place. It's not actually important to know where the city is. It is nearby lake, hence its name, and its surrounded by forests. If you want to picture it, the closest real word comparison would be somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. But, as said before, it is not important where it is. Could be anywhere, could be nowhere or it could be simply a dream. A story. 

Everyone knows each other. Such is the nature of a small town, you could even call it inevitable. Something to note is that even in summer, it's quite chilly. Snow is an old friend and late night mist is an ex lover who still visits. 

There are many important characters who are life long residents of the town as well as other who are foreigners, like our writer feels. His journal entries will take us through different spots and show us several faces of those who inhabit this place.

SECOND ENTRY

After writing about my accident in Lover's Cross and my (eventful) trip to Loony's , I had the sobering realisation I hadn't even explained where I was staying.  It's official. I'd say it is, anyway. I've finally settled into the house at Dreams Lake. It looks more like what I'd always imagined as a cabin in the woods rather than a suburban home, but then again, it was almost in the middle of nowhere. It still belongs to Dreams Lake, but rather than decorating one of its streets, it rests near the edge of a still frozen over lake. Hence the name. I've had enough time here to be able to conclude that imaginative names were not their thing. I suppose, it's not a necessity.  The first time my car sputtered down the dirt road leading up to the entrance, I felt my heart fall at the sight of the house. There were overgrown bushes that seemed to crown the home, letting anyone whose eyes rested on it know that it was wild territory, didn't belong to any...

FIRST ENTRY

Been here for a couple of weeks already, but this morning it seems to have finally sinked in. Dreams Lake. The road was iced and filled with black snow at the curb. The traffic lights weren't working and another car crashed into mine.  It wasn't an unusual sight to witness in Lover's Cross , despite only becoming a resident in this town a few weeks ago, it was one I'd seen many times already.  Nevertheless, I had to stop on the side of the road. It wasn't even that serious. The car only had a small bump and nothing was truly  broken. Still, my hands were shaking. I kept reminding myself that it had been a bad idea to come to this town (even though, I knew I didn't really think that). By the time I calmed down, I couldn't remember why I'd even gone out. It didn't seem to matter too much anymore, anyways.  When afternoon had truly sunk its claws into the day, I finally remembered. I'd gone out to buy a packet of cigarettes. After what had happened ...
