Texas Odd Files: The Town Beneath the Lake, Under the Pines
Listen to a preview:
A lake can cover a town. It cannot erase the story.
The Town Beneath the Lake, Under the Pines follows one small thread of East Texas history beneath the surface of Lake Palestine, where roads, structures, farmland, memory, and an older landscape remain beneath the water.
Part history, part family memory, and part Texas Odd Files narrative, this seven-page illustrated reading piece explores the strange layering of a place that became familiar as a lake only after another world had already existed there.
From the Upper Neches and the pine country to submerged structures, childhood memories of swimming in the lake, and the unsettling realization that alligators were there too, this is a story about what happens when geography changes but memory does not.
