Still Waters

Lake Shimmering Moon was infamous for its serial killer. But no one knew who he was. So the town took a random homeless guy who no one would miss and sentenced him to the chair. He put a curse on that lake. His dying words were:
“If you go to that lake to pass your time, you’ll soul will be trapped there, just like mine. Next time you go to that lake, put up a sign there for me.
‘Anyone who enters here will
Face the consequences of their actions.
Doesn’t matter if they meant no harm
They’ll suffer painful breaks and fractions.
Only if you stupid people can show me how to truly love
Will your actions ever be forgiven, and you’ll make it up above.’â€? He laughed hard.
Y’know, dying words are the most meaningful.
And they never did put up that sign.
