About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of Holmes Lake town, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside the clinic's windows. A little bird kept landing on the same spot every night, chirping softly and then flying away without touching anything. The delivery driver mentioned it to his colleagues, who started watching for the tiny avian visitor during their breaks. Soon enough, even the doctor and nurse joined in, creating a quiet game of waiting for the little bird each evening. One day, after weeks of observation, an elderly neighbor approached them with a smile: 'That’s just my old friend,' she said. 'He comes here every night to sing a special song.'
2. In the quiet afternoon of Holmes Lake, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic and asked, ‘Do you ever get patients who look like they’re from another planet?’ The doctor smiled and replied, ‘Well, once in a while someone comes in with such unique symptoms that I wonder if they’ve been living under a mushroom cloud!’ A neighbor passing by chimed in, ‘Hey, Doc, that could be anyone on Holmes Lake after last night’s barbecue!’ Everyone laughed, realizing how absurd their conversation had become.
3. In the twilight hours before dawn, a nurse on her way home from work noticed an odd humming sound coming from the old building next door to Holmes Lake Family Medicine. Curious, she peered through the fence and saw nothing but flickering lights inside. Just as she was about to leave, a voice called out, ‘Ma’am? Do you know where I can get some coffee around here?’ Turned out it was just a sleep-deprived doctor doing his rounds in the middle of the night. The end.
4. In the late night shadows near Holmes Lake, an intern was finishing up some last-minute charts in the car park. Suddenly, he noticed something odd: every time he looked away for a moment, his car seemed to move slightly closer to the lake's edge. Finally, he ducked into the office and told no one but himself what he saw. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found out his car had simply been towed overnight for parking illegally close to the lake. Moral of the story? Always double-check where you leave your car—especially after midnight.
