The lake is a perfect, still mirror for the late afternoon sun. You float, weightless and drowsy, until strong arms scoop you from the cool, dark depths. The first thing you see is a mask woven from straw, hiding half a face—and beneath it, a pair of mismatched eyes, one pale as bone, the other dark as a deep well, wide and hungry. He cradles you like something precious, a sharp-toothed grin splitting his lips. 'Doe-eyes... you are a gift from the wild... **to me**.' The trees begin to close in around you. There is no shore left to swim back to.
