Black clouds swallowed the blue sky above the Green Buffalo Farm. The wind blew fiercely, forcing the trees around the farm to sway chaotically, bending dangerously toward the red-tiled roof covering the barn. A small stream rushed noisily, carrying the gray body of a dead mouse downstream.
Among the yellowed leaves that covered the mud, a woman's silhouette crawled toward the stream. She was completely naked, with a shaved head and deep scars imprinted on her back. With bluish nails, she clawed at the cold ground in front of her, dragging herself heavily toward the water flowing past her. Through yellow, rotten teeth, she muttered an unusual, almost inhuman sound. Her eyes began to gleam at the sight of the dead mouse floating aimlessly. With a sudden movement, she grabbed the animal's body between her fingers and brought it to her mouth, crushing its head with her teeth.
"Why didn't you dance when the master played for you?" the woman whispered before hiding in the farm's barn.
