It told me, in that low, close voice on the recording, and again in the breathing against my ear, that I was going to die alone in that house.
I didn't.
I walked out into the cold and the daylight, and I'm still here.
The drive out from Port Angeles takes you along Highway 101 until the trees close in and the road starts to bend with the shoreline, and somewhere in there you lose the radio for good.
I remember the exact moment it cut out.
We were halfway through a song nobody liked, and then there was just the hiss of dead air and the sound of the tires on wet pavement.
and Cole reached over and turned the whole thing off without saying anything.
None of us turned it back on.
That was the first thing the lake did, I think, though I didn't know it was the lake at the time.
It took the noise away from us, one piece at a time, until all we had left was each other and the water and the cabin that was waiting for us at the end of the gravel.
I had come up there to forget about a woman named Erin.
That's the truth of it, and I'm not going to dress it up.
We had been together for four years, and she had left in March, and by the middle of May, I was the kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix.
Cole had noticed it the way old friends notice things, without making a speech about it, and he had booked the cabin and told me to take the weekend off work and not argue."
The third man was Devin, who I had known since the eighth grade.
A quiet welder with big hands who didn't talk much, but who you wanted around when things got strange because nothing seemed to rattle him.
That was before Lake Crescent.
After Lake Crescent, I'm not sure that was true anymore, and I'm not sure it was ever true.
Lake Crescent sits on the north end of the Olympic Peninsula, inside the boundary of the National Park.
and it is one of those bodies of water that doesn't look real the first time you see it.
