Ballingeary, County Cork
We were on our way to the village of Kilcorhane in the
extreme southwestern of the Republic of Ireland, when we stopped for lunch at
Gougane Barra, in Ballingeary, County Cork.
After
lunch, we went for a walk along the lake and visited the tiny stone church on
the lakeshore before getting back on the road again. It was a beautiful spring
afternoon, birds chirping, cool breeze, and the sun finally came out. Further
along, we came across a stream and decided to follow it. As we walked, we realized
how isolated we were. We found a small bridge and walked to the middle where we
watched leaves drift beneath us as the gentle current passed under the bridge.
The large boulders glistened in the sun. Will said, "A body could float
down this stream easily and get caught on the boulders." So we took
pictures and walked back to the car. For the rest of the two-hour trip to
Kilcrohane, we talked about using this stream for a body dump and made notes.
When it
was time to outline Stone Pub, we planned our murders, and this stream, in The Republic of Ireland, became the place where one of the unfortunate victims was
discovered.
