Tia walked over to the lake and looked down at the water. It was inky black and shiny like a mirror. She crouched down onto the lake's bank and took a closer look at the strangely dark water. She blinked when she realized that the water was not water but was actually tar. Thick and dark and sinister looking, she can only hazard a guess on what laid underneath its surface. 

She was reaching out to touch the surface when she heard a horn sound. Surprised, she immediately stood up and her eyes fell on the boat that was coming towards her. Wide eyed, she stared at the boatman as he held out a hand to her. [color=plum]"A coin?"[/color] she asked and looked down at the circular metal that was still clutched in her hand. She wasn't sure if it meant the coin she had but she figured it best to try. She reached out and dropped the coin into the open palm of the boat man and waited.
