The wind was howling the sun was setting the sky was painted orange. The large shadow of the old mill was standing aside the house the wheat crops moved in unison.

A tall black figure of a man stood in the horizon. his arms were long being almost in the floor,he had a large mouth filled with sharp teeth and a long tongue. In one of his hands was one of the wild boars that passed by the farm completely ripped apart. Nobody seemed to notice the ominous figure standing in the entrance to the farm.I went to warn Kuro and the old couple about this new menace.

"A tall man in the fields? He must be another worker" said the old couple at the same time. They didn't believe me, as always. I told Kuro about the man in the fields, "It is time" murmured Kuro nervously "hurry let's pack our things, we don't have much time". what's happening? "no time to explain" added kuro while he put one of my shirts inside a bag.

The tall man could be seen from my room's window he was walking slowly across the wheat fields towards our house. "8! what are you waiting for?!" said kuro "let's leave before it's to late!" he added screaming even louder, grabbing me by the arm and taking me outside. But what about the old couple? are they leaving with us? "of course not theire th-" the roof was destroyed as if something hit it from the inside and from the roof peeked out 2 tall shadows like the tall man i saw in the fields.
