A farmer went into the woods for firewood—but he found something chilling encased in ice.

After hanging up with Sophie, Henry couldn’t resist telling a few of his friends about his discovery. He called Russ, the local mechanic, who was always up for a good mystery. “Probably just some bear,” Russ scoffed when Henry described the ice block. “Got itself caught in a freak thaw and froze.”

Henry rolled his eyes but couldn’t help smiling. “Well, whatever it is, I’m taking a closer look with Sophie when she gets here. You’re welcome to come by.” Henry paced back and forth in his small kitchen, glancing out the frosted window every few minutes.
