Before I can finish, he effortlessly lifts me and throws me back into the lake. “Onda. Onda. Onda.” Someone screams my name as I sink deeper into the lake. My back finally hits a rock at the bottom of the lake and my eyes slowly flutter closed. The scene around me darkens and I look up to see Darius at the surface, holding my mother by the neck, sneering. All I can do is watch my mother cry as she reaches out her hand, her tears making small ripples on the surface as I quietly drift off to sleep.

The sound of the oars gently caressing the surface of the lake lulled me into an altered state. Suddenly, the sky went dark and the waters grew choppy. I looked to the shoreline on the far side of the lake to see a small pack of very large feral dogs pacing the water’s edge. The boat rocked at a rate that made me question if we’d capsize, but Marc assured me that all would be fine and to just relax. I closed my eyes as tight as I could until the rocking ceased. When I opened them again, I was back in my hospital room with Dr. Mokena looking at my chart.

Coco allowed the warm water to wash her face off the lather, and she opened her eyes to see the naked man before her. Before her eyes lowered to see the main thing, Lake covered her lips with his, forcing her to close her eyes as their wet and slippery bodies collided. The kiss in the shower was so passionate as Lake reached out and turned off the faucet. The only warmth Coco felt was from Lake’s well-defined muscular body. His gaze on her was so intense, it pierced into her soul, bringing out every hidden emotion. “I can’t wait any longer, Rose, please let’s get married. You already quit your production anyway.”

“Fine. if I cannot have you, no one can, and certainly not my brother. I didn’t say stop, keep going.” I push back, trying to fight through his demands, but I’m powerless against him. A drop at the bottom has be sinking under, water filling my lungs, arms flailing, a dire attempt to get myself out. I’m screaming for help but it does no good, instead leaving me with a mouth full water, unable to breathe. My vision blurs, darkness calling me, as I sink lower. The sun reflecting against the lake, is the last thing I see before I fade away, welcoming death…

"The canyon to the north is a maze of temporal recursion. To the south, the realm of the Color-Eater. This is the only passable route." "Then we cross," I said. He turned to look at me, his storm-grey eyes filled with a complex turmoil I no longer had the energy to decipher. "Sze, the stories say the lake preys on strong emotions, on the attachments that define a soul. It will attack the very core of what we are." What we are. The words hung in the air, a testament to what was already broken. "Then it will find little of value in me," I replied, my tone as flat and empty as the lake's surface.

My soul drifted like a feather in the air, watching the mansion shrink behind me. I felt like a ghost who didn't belong. In the corner of the staircase, my phone was still blinking with unread messages. Cassio's name was on the screen. "Sera, Natalie Portman is in Swan Lake tonight at Lincoln Center. I know she's your favorite dancer. Why aren't you here?" "Show's about to start. I'm in the VIP box. Waiting for you."

Four hundred feet below, the high-velocity torrent of the Inner Dome's primary gray-water line surged toward the lowlands, its distant thunder shaking the very floorboards beneath Vivian’s boots.

She was freezing— and she just wanted it all to end. But neither Jennifer nor Elena realized— there was a man standing near the small dock by the lake. He was alone, smoking, watching the rippling water where someone was drowning. “Tch. What a hassle.” He muttered— then jumped into the lake. Elena, already weak, faintly heard the splash. The lake shimmered under the moonlight, eerie and cold. When she opened her eyes— she saw a man with sharp blue eyes swimming toward her. And then— the dream ended.
