So Much Water, So Close to Home
by Damien Moore

A single session scenario using the Storyteller (WoD) rules system

Original Concepts: Paul Kelly & Rage Across Australia

Late on a Friday my husband went up
to the mountains with three friends.
They took provisions and bottles of bourbon
to last them all through the weekend.
One hundred miles they drove,
just to fish in a stream.
And there's so much water,
so close to home.

When they arrived it was cold and dark;
They set up their camp quickly.
Warmed up with whiskey they walked to the river
where the water flowed past darkly.
In the moonlight they saw a body
of a young girl floating face down.
And there's so much water,
so close to home.

When he holds me now I'm pretending,
I feel like I'm frozen inside.
And behind my eyes, my daily disguise,
everything's turning to white.

"Everything's Turning to White", Paul Kelly.
