The Saymon's had an old cabin On the shore of the Lake of Cards. The Saymons had owned this two bedroom cabin on the shore for decades before they either died or moved on. No one knows for sure what happened to them. Said to be a friendly family who would lend helping hands to neighbors. There is something special, magical about this lake. The local lore has it that the family would go there for the weekends, or just the father and his friends. Or the son and his party buddies. A weekend of beer and fishing and playing cards after sunset. When they would go home they would always cast the cards they used for the weekend into the lake off the deck of they're cabin. Whatever happened the lake has tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of cards floating in it. The lake is always still. The waters always clear. Good to drink, folks normally bring a pitcher of it back home for medicinal needs. Cards wash ashore after moon lit nights. But there's always cards in the water like stars in the sky. Mibby used to stay here for the weekend sometimes with his older brother when he was a kid. He would walk along the beaches picking up cards. All sorts of different decks, some of them where naked lady decks!
Making a card shore house is a popular game for sunny idle summer days. How big of a card house can you make? I've gone to the cabin late at night to find card houses taller then I am. Card houses you could actually stand inside.
The cards seem to be permanently damp. No one is ever to dry them out or find dry enough cards to use as fuel for the fire. Instead of burn they just stink and curl letting unpleasant wisps of smoke out.
