As Ice Glazes Rocks
Alana’s mother had warned her about the rocks covered in ice near the edge of the lake. The Johnson boy had slipped and tumbled headlong into murk. In 40 degree water, he quickly sank in his heavy winter coat, started to hyperventilate, and drowned before anyone knew he was gone. “He’d only have lasted fifteen minutes or so before his muscles weakened.

Are you there?”.I rush to it on the nwww.onedoor.ccightstand next to my bunk bed and turn on the small lamp above it. “Yes, yes! I’m here!”, I say as I turn the dial for better reception, “This is Bunker 759-Alpha. That’s a copy!”.
