It was late January on Little Moose Lake, a frozen sheet of white so flat you could see your own shadow cast by starlight. The ice was thick enough to drive a truck on, and the auger went through clean. But when Ben pulled up his line, there was something else in the hole — not a fish, not a weed, but a second hole, perfectly round, drilled from underneath. The water below wasn't water. It was something darker, something that moved against the current. And when he leaned over to look, he saw a face looking back — not his own, but one he recognized from a photograph his grandmother kept in a locket. This episode stays on the ice with Ben as the cold seeps through his boots and the holes keep appearing, each one closer to where he's standing.
