Dreams Become Cold
Every night, it's the same haunting dream for Conrad Penner. He walks into a room to find a young woman, frozen solid on a couch, a thin layer of ice covering her body. She clutches something small, but he can't make out what it is. Pleading eyes meet his, and she manages to utter, "Please lift me," before her face turns motionless, and she stops breathing. It's a recurring ordeal, and Conrad, unemployed and without family, has given up figuring out its meaning, hoping it would fade away.

Beneath His Shades
Every summer a select group of students from Stanford University come to Fallen Leaf Lake to camp out, row, and water ski the glassy lake of privilege. The lake is so glassy that Randy can see her reflection as she steps into his kayak. The glow of her blond hair reverberates off the water like a radiant beacon warning him of her rocky shores. The sequins on her black two-piece sparkle, emitting interstellar messages from her bikini onto the water surface-reflecting back through his polarized sunglasses. These signals indicate she is an important young woman with status. As Rhonda steps in, the kayak sinks slightly. The first thing Randy notices isn’t her eyes but her pink and black Prada sunglasses. Randy recalls purchasing his Prizm Oakley’s because they were polarized and able to see into the depths of the water. He must keep an eye out for large rocks, branches, and shallow dangers under the surface while steering the boat for his customers.

My daughter’s infant giggle echoed down the hall. The early sun splintered through the blinds making a light show of the dust. We needed to clean. I sat up as Grace ran in, jumping on the bed. Saturday mornings were one of the few things I looked forward to now. Work had completely defeated me. Aside from being good at what I did, there was little I enjoyed during the week. Today though. Today, we had plans.
