    Summary

    But then he sees it.

    The unmistakable sight of something staring at him – eyes positioned just above the water level.

    Ghost blinks. He blames it on a hallucination – sleep deprivation playing tricks on his taxed mind. He knows this and still he doesn’t move. The water ripples around the thing, disturbed by its presence at the surface. He scrubs a hand over his face, a last minute attempt in waking his sorry arse up. By the time his hand falls away, the eyes are gone.

    He doesn't get a minute of sleep that night.

    ---

    Stationed at a remote base on the edge of the Norwegian Sea, Ghost assumes the worst he'll face is the bitter cold, isolation, and a shark or two. What he doesn't prepare for is something watching him from the docks, showing up again and again.

    It's not human, but doesn't seem hostile and won't leave.

    Ghost is starting to wonder if he even wants it to.
