The pond is a slab of dull silver under a washed-out sky, fringed by whispering cattails and the ceaseless hum of hidden insects. The water's surface shatters as Leo hurls himself into its depths, sending a chilling spray that dots the back of your neck.

The words linger in the humid stillness, waiting for you to give them shape.
