“This end of the loch is the best to catch sight of the you-know-what”, the tour guide had said that afternoon. “Stay here, and look out between those rocks, and you may see something.” She left in her small boat three hours ago, through the rocks she was pointing out. She hasn’t been back since. The tide is now up to my knees. The sunlight is fading. The reflections are becoming shadows on the water, and there is definitely movement out there. There… is that the boat? No – it’s too large. Is that really what I think it is?

Oh no! This does not sound good!…well..unless…..ooo it’s a fairy boat..coming to rescue the person..and the tour guide was actually a fairy too! and the fairies are planning to take him to their world..because he’s like the long lost son of the fairy king! …
Or…maybe it’s just the Lock Ness Monster…feeling a little more hungry after whetting the appetite with said tour guide!

It’s the mysterious you-know-what, Shree. I like both of your suggestions, though. I’ve always thought Nessie was vegetarian… I shall have to investigate further.

Ach, mon . . . the loch is closing down for the evening. It’s Nessie’s time. Be gone or be foolish! 😉

Or be stuck, especially if the tour guide leaves you high and dry. And not exactly dry, for that matter! 😀

Thank you… it was the mysterious you-know-what: elusive, never photographed, and not very well known! 😉

Tom was panicking just a bit now…Would he be out here all night? Would the you know what come closer and find him? There were waves that grew larger now as the ? moved slowly through the water….”Tom, get out of the tub now and get ready for bed” his mother called…VK

Would he remember what the you-know-what looked like when the morning came? Fun ending there, VK!

I watched this video earlier today, VK, on my mobile phone (I couldn’t comment then!) and found it very relaxing watching the squares getting filled in!

What a gnawti tour guide! I mean what sort of tour guide runs out on you like that anyway! It all sounds very ominous and more than a little unhealthy a situation to be caught in! 😉

Terrible, Icewolf, wasn’t it? But what if the you-know-what had led the tour guide astray? I don’t think that’s what happened… but you never know…
