Twenty Inches

If you stand where two Ash tree’s lean together with your back to the toilet block, and then walk your mind across the sun-dappled water maybe fifteen paces, you will see where the child drowned. Even though there were people gathered all 'round the pond, even though the excited dog bounced off the concrete bottom of the pond as it chased a rubber ball - on that day, no one saw twenty inches of water quickly rush in.
