30: The Black Lagoon.

There were six friends who went to university together. After their final exams,they decided to go on a camping trip in the wilderness.

After driving for several hours,they finally reached the black lagoon. It was beside a tall cliff that was ideal for diving. After pitching their tents in a clearing in the woods, they spent the evening swimming in the warm,clear water.

As the sun began to set,one of the friends went up to the highest point of the cliff and jumped off,while the others watched. Their laughter slowly subsided as they waited for him to surface.

It only took half a minute for them to dive in after their friend. Struggling and spluttering among the reeds in the black lagoon,they searched hopelessly for him. Finally they came up,but they never saw their friend again.

Heartbroken,they returned to the city and passed a strange and lonely year in which their only solace was the knowledge that they could soon return to the lagoon RIO honor the anniversary of their friend's death.

A year passed and they returned to the lagoon as a memorial, but as they approached they saw a figure at the end of the water.

It was their friend!

He was just standing there with his back to them;his head bowed. Excitedly,they called out to him and began running towards him,but he didn't turn around.

As they got closer,they shouted louder and louder,he still didn't react. They were running towards him,but suddenly stopped dead in their tracks.

At the edge of the water,they saw five crosses.
