Chapter One
Wow,
I breathe as I paddle through the ancient sea caves of Devil’s Island. The timeless red and gold rock formations are breathtakingly beautiful. Eroded by the intense surf of Lake Superior over millions of years, the caves are popular with kayakers and tourists from all over the world. I’m Wisconsin born and bred, yet I’ve never seen this stunning and dramatic spot for myself—until now. After falling out with my college friends, it seems the perfect place to explore, get drunk, and nurse my sorrows on Halloween.
Local legends say an evil spirit dwells here. The natives claim to have heard it howling and roaring on stormy nights. The thought has gooseflesh prickling up my arms as darkness descends and the winds pick up. The waters of Lake Superior start to get choppy. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea, I muse as my head buzzes with warmth. But a part of me loves fear. I revel in it. I always have.
The thrill of danger pumps me full of adrenaline, and I find myself squinting into the gloom, surreptitiously glancing about as if something might just rise from depths to fulfill my most twisted All Hallows’ Eve fantasies.
Resting my double-ended paddle over my lap, I adjust my bright orange life vest and reach for my bottle of bourbon. I shudder after taking a deep slug of the amber alcohol as it burns down my throat. Doesn’t taste great, but it gets the job done. After screwing the lid back on, I slide it back down alongside my legs and dip my paddle back into the water. Do I have a death wish? I wonder. What kind of sane person drunkenly kayaks through caves at night—alone?
Well,
I say aloud to no one in particular, emboldened by the relaxing hum in my veins. If my fuckwit friends weren’t such jerks, I wouldn’t be here, now, would I?
No. I don’t have a death wish. I just need an escape. Time to rage. Time to be reckless. Time to get the frustration out of my system. I didn’t fucking kiss Jett! He’s just a friend.
I inform the darkness. But it doesn’t matter. Jessica believes what she heard from some tart on campus, instead … even after ten stinking years of friendship. She didn’t even give me the benefit of the doubt! She didn’t even confront me or speak to me. She just turned everyone against me on a whim like a butt-hurt little bitch. Ugh!
