The Village of Loh Kai was a gentle, peaceful farming land, mostly rice. The long ridged hillsides spattered with but a few huts here and there, the only indication of workers to be seen.
So, it was with some surprise that Noh Kan Dai, a young farmer just into his 20s, recently celebrating his elevation to the status of "Plough Hand", saw several of his fellow villagers running through the long grass between plantations. They made no noise or indications as to why they ran, but the manner of their retreat made it look a lot like... well, a retreat... Further rustlings in the grass behind caught his eye, and it occurred to him that "chased" might be more appropriate than "retreat". Taking his lead from the others, Noh turned and began to run himself, only then noticing smoke rising in the not to distant distance of the village huts. Suddenly, a hard shove to the back sent him sprawling on the floor. Spinning around, he was just able to take in the rotten, hanging skin that made up the face of his attacker, as well as the fresh green vines that sprouted from its mouth, before oblivion took him... -------------------- Will Power - will@labyrinthe.co.uk
