DELTA
WHEN MY FATHER DIED, he left me a lake house, and I hate him for it. As if
losing him suddenly wasn’t bad enough, now, I’m back in this middle-ofnowhere town in northern Georgia, forced to set his estate to rights.
Estate. Ha. That word makes his house sound impressive. Maybe from
the outside. But step in the door, and everything turns into a death trap.
When I got the call from Folk Haven’s police chief about my father’s
passing a few months back, I half-expected the cause of death to be
something more gruesome than a heart attack. Not that I wanted my father to
suffer. They told me his death was quick, and even if someone had been
nearby, there would have been an infinitesimal chance he could have
survived.
With Dimitri Novac’s hermit lifestyle, that chance had turned into zero.
Which leaves me here, sitting alone on the end of his dock in the early
morning, listening to the hollow lap of the water against wood, contemplating
Lake Galen and mortality.
Maybe my morbid thoughts manifest a response because, suddenly, I’m
sure I’m staring straight at a lifeless body floating facedown in the water.
“Oh hell,” I mutter, scrambling to my feet, unsteady on the floating dock.
The higher vantage point shows me the same image. Just past the mouth
of the inlet, maybe a hundred feet away, a person is rocking in the waves like
the leavings of a shipwreck.
Adrenaline and panic make my decision for me. I rip off my long-sleeved
shirt and unzip my jeans, pushing the denim off my legs without the
hindrance of shoes because I walked down here, barefoot. Pulling on my
muscle memory from a long-ago summer swim team, I dive into the water
and plow toward the prone figure, using a strong freestyle. The distance first
appeared closer than it is, and as I continue to pump my arms, I try to
remember how long a human can go without oxygen and still survive.
Is it long enough for me to reach them, drag them to shore, and start
performing CPR?
Doesn’t matter. I have to try.
When I lift my head, shaking water from my eyes, I spot the lifeless form
only a few strokes away. With a powerful kick of my feet, I cross the final
distance. Despite my hope, the logical part of my brain informs me I am
about to grab hold of a dead body.
Which is why I scream when the head pops up at my touch.
The man—because I see now that it is a man—jerks back at my holler,
raising his hands above the water, as if surrendering.
“It’s okay. I won’t hurt you,” he assures me in a rumble of a voice.
“You’re not dead!” I shout, as if him being alive were an inconvenience.
