Fleur

It was nice to read a story for a change. This story was narrated by a young girl named Pauline. She describes a woman at the beginning of the story named Fleur. Fleur was known for her beauty but also for drowning in the lake twice. When she drowned, the two men that saved her ended up dying. Many people believed she was married to the lake monster. One summer, Fleur goes to a town called Argus. Here, she plays cards with three men and a dog. Pauline's stepfather is one of the card players. In between working, Pauline watches the card games. One thing that I did not understand about the story was why Fleur left after playing a game? I know Lily followed her and was attacked by a pig, but what happened to Fleur? Shortly after, there was a tornado that destroyed everything. It took three days for the town to figure out that the three men who played cards where missing. They found them frozen to death near the table where they played cards. What this story trying to say how the men that get involved with Fleur always die?
