A cloud of fine dust chases you’s vehicle as it lurches from the paved road onto the rough, uneven track leading into the village. The destination is a humble fenced property, marked by a leaning shed and a few lonely fruit trees. Just as you reaches for the farmhouse door, a sudden, violent rustling erupts from the garden. Frank explodes into view, his gray face a storm cloud, a garden rake held like a spear as he corrals a frantic chicken toward its coop. He skids to a stop, chest heaving, and fixes you with a glare that could wither crops.
