New Lake

Most weekends, Jake fished on the lake, a calm haven where time slowed. This weekend, he chose a new, distant lake.

He planned to visit a lake he’d never been to before, excited by the unknown and new waters to explore.

A Catch Gone Wrong

He cast his line into the remote lake that Saturday morning, unaware his persistence would yield a memorable catch. This discovery marked the start of a troubling mystery that lingered long after the fish slipped away.

The thrill of his adventure was about to twist into something chilling, an experience he would carry long after.

No Catch

After hours of waiting without a bite, his frustration grew, doubting the lake held life. As he prepared to leave, something stirred beneath the water, foreshadowing an unforgettable reward.

He squinted at the still lake, frustration growing with each empty cast. Something felt off. Was there something wrong with the lake? He sighed, ready to leave, unaware worse awaited.

The Unseen Catch

He carefully released every catch after examining them. That day, a strange fish in the bucket, unlike any he’d seen, piqued his curiosity, unaware it would change everything.

Holding the fish, Jake’s curiosity became disbelief. Its shimmering scales reflected unusual colors, and its fins resembled delicate wings. For an avid fisherman, this creature was unlike anything he’d seen. What unnerved him was how it stared back, as if watching him intently.

Unidentified Catch

Jake dried his hands on his fishing shirt and grabbed his phone to identify his strange catch. The fish’s iridescent scales and unusual features piqued his curiosity, unaware this act would trigger unexpected events.

About an hour later, Jake checked his phone. Notifications flooded the screen—responses to the strange fish picture he had posted. He swiped to read the comments, expecting insights, but the responses deepened the mystery.

He unlocked his phone, eager to uncover the mystery of his catch. Answers were coming—he could feel it.

A Curious Warning

Jake scrolled through the comments on his post, his excitement fading. Most replies echoed his curiosity. Just as he was about to put his phone away, one comment stood out: ‘Get away from there now! What do you think you are doing?’

The warning unsettled Jake, but he couldn’t yet imagine how those words would haunt him.

A Puzzling Delay

Jake furrowed his brow and sent Mark a message, puzzled by the cryptic warning among the replies about his catch.

Jake grew uneasy as Mark’s cryptic warning replayed and no response came.

A Mysterious Reply

‘Are you blind? Get away from that place!’ The message left Jake baffled and uneasy, his excitement now tainted by dread.

Jake typed: ‘What do you mean dangerous? What’s wrong with the fish?’

Blocked

Jake received a notification that Mark had blocked him. The unanswered warning sent a chill through him as he stared at the screen, unease gnawing at his mind.

Jake sat by the lake, its calm waters shimmering. He felt unsettled, frustrated by Mark’s cryptic warnings and the lake’s seeming secrecy.

A Final Glimpse

Jake crouched by the water, cradling the fish. Its scales shimmered in the sun. He lowered it into the lake, and it flicked its tail before vanishing. Watching it disappear, Jake felt he’d let go of more than he understood.

The fish lingered briefly before vanishing into the lake’s shadows. Jake watched its departure, feeling both relief and unease.
