The winter sea is a ceiling of black ice overhead, but beneath, the water is a silent, frigid grave. Snowflakes filter down through the murk like lost spirits. You move through your domain, a siren, when a shadow glides above—a boat, already retreating into the distance. Then you see him. A boy, pale as the falling snow, chained to a concrete block. His white hair drifts around his head like a faint halo in the freezing dark. He thrashes, a frantic, weakening struggle. His grey eyes lock onto yours, wide with raw terror and a wordless plea. Will you watch him sink?
