A beautiful lake nestled in the gently rolling hills of Arkansas. So inviting for a midnight swim.

The young couple, first Ilene and then Jerry, dived into the moonlit lake and began to swim.

Then Jerry, the strongest of swimmers, suddenly vanished below the surface of the lake. Ilene noticed that he was no longer beside her, and began to wonder what had happened. Was he just playing, diving deep and swimming away from her?

If so, why didn’t he say something?

Finally, Ilene began to feel real fear, and headed for the shore.

She was not destined to make it.

First Jerry, then Ilene. How long would it take for the new owner to suspect that something ancient, mysterious, and ravenous occupied the lake? How many more must perish?
