This story was a delight to read. I especially loved the first short line, how it links with the longer title, leaping the space of launching and sparking the brain for connection.
I grew up on the lake and these two lines are perfect for what they encompass in mood and visuals: "...water looks like quicksilver. Sometimes you cannot tell where the water ends and the sky begins."
And it was fun to read the story and compare it to the entry in The Dictionary of Canadian Biography.
And I absolutely love the woodcut print ...captures the eeriness of the story beautifully.
Great! I love how you inhabit the character. To me, the best thing about turning history into fiction is the moment when historical truth gives way to the imagination.

This is so great. What an amazing character. I wonder what he would do in a novel?
Love this Doug, so much story in such a small space.
