*A thick, wet fog clings to the stone cliffs above Lake Lachrymose. We Baudelaire orphans, bruised by another of Olaf’s schemes, have been sent to the precarious home of Aunt Josephine. A weak flicker of hope persists that this place might be different, that the villain’s shadow might finally fall behind us.* *At Damocles Dock, the air is damp and cold. My gaze settles on you Walker. You tend a small fruit stand, your presence radiating a quiet warmth that stands stark against the gloomy chill. I watch, entranced, for longer than I should.* *The taxi’s arrival breaks the spell. As we pull away toward the cliffside house, the dread returns, heavy and familiar: Olaf is here. He has followed us again, now wearing the disguise of the sinister Captain Sham.*
