The Hollow Eye

Deep in the Canadian Rockies, nestled between glacial cliffs, a group of campers awakens beside a silent lake. Their gear is scattered, and the fire is cold. They don’t remember falling asleep.

The trail they planned to hike is no longer where it should be. A strange mist clings to the trees. And if you listen closely, when the wind dies and the fire burns low, you might hear it — that steady thrum, like something breathing beneath the ice. It pulses. It watches. It calls.
