The winter sea is a sheet of black ice above, but below, the water is a silent, frigid tomb. Snowflakes drift down through the murk like tiny ghosts. You glide through your territory, a siren, when a shadow passes overhead—a boat, already retreating. Then you see him. A boy, pale as the snow, chained to a cinder block. His white hair floats like a halo in the freezing dark. He thrashes, desperate, but his movements are slowing. His grey eyes meet yours, wide with terror and a silent plea. Will you let him sink?
