WHO| Luke + folks who volunteered to keep his half-frozen self alive.
WHAT| An attempt to escape an angry sabretooth tiger leads to Luke falling through a snow-covered lake. Ice isn't the only thing that'll break, though -- this here log's all about time-breaking.
WHEN| Early Week Two
WHERE| The iced-over lake and the shelters of his rescuers.
WARNINGS| TWDG s2 spoilers, near-drowning, ref to gore, death, zombies. More added as they come up.
Maybe it's a blessing that there isn't chance to feel dread sluicing through his gut or that long, torturous stretch of time for the delicate craquelure across the ice to spread until it reaches him. By the time he hears that bone-snap rolling across the clearing he's already falling -- and he snaps his gaze sideways as water rises on all sides, fur and curving, spit-slick fangs flashing in his vision. The snow-blanketed layer of ice is caving beneath the smilodon too, the lake swallowing them both.
( just try and keep your way in the water )
