The water was only a reminder to it of the hideous disfigurement it bared, to remind that no living being would ever seek its company. He had grown fond of this lake, isolated from a nearby village, of whom would surely kill him if aware by his presence- he sought out the cool breeze and the fish it provided. He had no home, no land to call his own, for he belonged nowhere. Naked, water only reaching to his waist, he savored the feeling of it against his hideous skin he had to call a part of his body. He had but begin relaxing, for nature was a getaway, for it was the only thing to tolerate its presence. For it was the only thing to give him any sense of tranquility and love.
