Hour: Late · Weather: Still
Sat on the dock. Wood is gray, wet, old. The sign says HAUNTED. The sign is not wrong. The sign is also not helpful.

Midnight Fishing Log
Dock 13 · Water: Black · Sky: None
The Fisherman
He appeared at the edge of the dock. Blue glow around him. Not from a lantern. From him. Hat pulled low. Clothes torn at the edges. No shoes. Feet dangling over black water. Worried expression. Holding a rod that goes nowhere.
Today's Catch
Nothing. The line is in the water. The water does not move. The ripples are from something else.
Reflection: His shadow in the water is taller. The shadow is not holding a rod.
Bait: Missing. Was never there.
Notes
He has been fishing for a long time. The dock is rotting. The sign is new. The blue glow does not flicker. It is patient. Like the water. Like the thing that is not biting yet.
