The Fog Over Blackwood Lake
The fishing boat cut through the thick, unnatural fog that had settled over Blackwood Lake since the previous autumn. Arthur was warned never to venture out past the submerged ruins of the old mill, but the promise of rare silver perch proved too tempting. As his wooden oars sliced through the ink-black water, strange bubbles began to break the surface around the hull. Cold, webbed fingers suddenly gripped the side of the boat, tipping it dangerously to the left. Arthur gasped as pale, drowned faces emerged from the depths, singing a haunting lullaby that pulled him slowly down beneath the freezing waves.
