Dog Lover
Part 3 of Keke’s Vacation Up North
Lesson 78: Vacationing can be dangerous… unless you have a dog
[In Part 1 of Keke’s Vacation Up North, Keke and her family drove all day to reach Lake Hickory, where they spent two nights at a cabin on a quiet lagoon. In Part 2, Keke tested the limits of human patience. Here she presents the next adventure in her vacation saga…]
After another long drive, we arrived at our next vacation spot. Traveling to new places can be exciting but also dangerous. Like my trip last year to the beach, when I nearly drowned but was brought back from the brink of death by an alert dolphin.
This stop was considerably different from our last one. Instead of a peaceful cottage by a lake, we stayed in a multi-floor apartment building in a small city. The exterior was modern brick, but an old church steeple topped the structure. Across the road was an ancient cemetery with overgrown weeds and toppled headstones. What happens to a grave’s inhabitants when their monument is displaced? There may be unseen forces and dark magic which require the advanced senses of a dog. But more on that later.
The building was heavily fortified, leaving me to wonder what secrets it guarded.
