North of Alaska‚ ripples scattered over the water as the small ’u’ shaped trawler glided through the shivering water. As Summer swept through‚ the mountains with the remains of snow enclosed the lake‚ distant from the open sea. A small gulley was the only way to access the unknown feverish water.

Calmly‚ the middle aged man walked

All I heard was dogs barking. I rolled over and looked at the time. It was 6:48. I got up and got dressed. Mom was already waiting for me downstairs.
