The water was up to her shoul ders. “You’re not ready yet,” she said. “I’m as ready as I’ll ever be,” he re plied. He was knee-deep in the water and pushing forward. “Suit yourself,” Samantha said, then her head disappeared beneath the surface of the lake. At the same time, the water that Steve was sloshing through turned from black to bright blue. He stopped, waiting for something to happen, his eyes moving from side to side. Finally, he turned around and looked back at the lakeshore. He was quite a ways out into the lake, but was still only waist-deep in water. The lakeshore was quiet, the trees illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun, the sky growing dark from the top down, leaving a small band of light just above the treeline. Steve was about to turn back around and re sume his hike out into the lake when he heard a familiar popping sound. He watched as a rectangular blue hole began to glow in the middle of the sky just above the treeline. The blurry face of a young woman floated on the rectangle, then popped into fo cus. “Hello, Steve,” Samantha said. Steve looked up into the sky, his eyes narrowing as he silently cursed. “Now can you get me out of here?” he asked. “Well, not exactly,” she said. Steve rolled his eyes. “Not exact ly!” he shouted. “What do you mean, not exactly?” “I can help you, but I can’t get you out,” she replied.. “You have to do that yourself. ” She moved back, and Steve could see that she was in his liv ing room. She sat in his easy chair, looked straight at him and sighed. “In order for you to get out of there, you have to do the same thing that I just did to you to someone else,” she said. “In order for you to do that, you have to get the power that I was talk ing about just before I left you. ” “How do I do that?” Steve asked. “By not trying to get it,” Samantha replied. “You just have to be patient and it will come to you. “When it does,” she continued, “you then have to find somebody and get them to come to that place you’re in. Then you have to walk through the lake. As you may have guessed, I’m on the other side. ” Steve needed to sit down, so began to walk back to the shore. “Will I be here long?” he asked. “That depends on you,” she an swered. “It takes a lot of patience to get out. You’ll probably be there for awhile. ” Steve reached the shore and sat down wearily. He reached absent- mindedly in his shirt pocket for a ciga rette, but the pocket was empty. Then he closed his eyes as he realized that the pack and his lighter were sitting on the table beside his chair. Under nor mal circumstances, he would have had a pounding migraine by now, but his head was clear. He opened his eyes and stared at Samantha, then dropped his gaze to the table beside his chair. Samantha followed his gaze to the table beside her. “You really ought to quit, you know,” she said as she picked up the cigarette pack and lighter. “Believe me, this is an especially bad time to be saying that,” Steve re plied. Samantha giggled, then threw the cigarettes and the lighter at the screen. Steve watched as they came toward the hole in the sky, growing bigger as they approached. There was a crack ling, hissing sound, then the cigarettes and lighter landed beside him. He pulled a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and took a deep drag. “Make ’em last,” Samantha said. Then she picked up the remote con trol and turned the TV off. And Steve watched as the hole in the sky disappeared.
