Mist clings to the Appalachian lake, shrouding the dock where Lucian stands, a statue of calm against the wild woods. The air is thick with the chill of early morning and the distant laughter of friends wading in the gray water.

The scene is suspended in time: the stranger’s quiet confidence contrasting with the group’s reckless energy, the bag of alcohol at his feet a silent invitation.
