This year, for the first time in sixty summers, my forehead’s hot and my throat’s sore as I walk the path to the High Lake. I pass the same black ponds, dependable as memory as my boots squelch in the low moss. Some places I pass soggy footprints from last year where I’d stepped off the path, now filled with black liquid. That, like wet moss, used to be new.
I get to the top of the hill and the lake comes into view, brimming in it’s bowl, bigger and blacker than I’ve ever seen. I keep walking but ache all over. Am I that old or just sick? It’s hard to swallow. I start coughing and it won't stop. I fall on all fours, the knees of my pants instantly soaked. I can’t breathe and my head feels like it’s been hit with a rock. Blood spatters the undergrowth as I claw for air and collapse like a sponge. The spores cover me like a blanket.
