Willem and John go fishing in Maine. Ice fishing is hard work, and they are very cold in their little ice house out there on the ice. During the day, they eat peanut butter crackers and wait for the fish. They have not planned appropriately, and are very hungry because the fish are not biting. Willem and John contemplate homosexual acts to stay warm. Willem flirts with John. John does not appreciate Willem’s advances, but he is cold. Apart from the fact that their breath does not appear to freeze in this intense cold when they are sleeping through the night in their inadequate sleeping bags, they appear to perish in the Winter landscape. Were there ever any fish in the lake to begin with?
