Study Notes

Prologue

  • Drought started in the West, causing water levels to drop dramatically in reservoirs and lakes.
  • This led to the exposure of secrets and historical remains, including skeletons in Lake Mead and potential toxic dust in the Great Salt Lake.
  • The protagonist's family lives in an East Coast enclave with ample freshwater resources, feeling relatively safe from the drought's impact.
  • The drought slowly reached their area, indicated by the appearance of rotten dock wood, boats drifting, and other submerged items.
  • The protagonist's father, a detective, was known for a calm, non-adrenaline-fueled approach to his work in contrast to the protagonist's youth.
  • The first sign of the drought's impact in their area was not a body, but something quieter, and dangerous.

Chapter 1

  • The car recovered from Mirror Lake was raised on the day of the protagonist's father's memorial.
  • Time perception altered for the protagonist since their father's death, now measured in "days without him."
  • The town was divided in terms of honoring the father, with a celebration versus a salvage company.
  • The protagonist viewed the car as a sign of a shift in the world, something more substantial than immediate danger.
  • The father’s death was commemorated with a cremation, celebrations, food and drinks taken care of by the department.
  • The low water levels in Mirror Lake, a decades low, caused public attention.
  • A car was found that had no visible signs of a crash; rumors suggested it had been submerged for years.
  • A dive team inspected the car but found no evidence inside.
  • The situation felt like a foreshadowing, or a sign of more changes to come.
