Speaker 1: There's nothing better than feeling comfortable in your own shoes,
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean flopping down on the couch with

Speaker 1: or a tech nomad working from anywhere and jumping from
Speaker 1: one thing to the next. Whoever you are, all Birds

Speaker 1: goes through yanois. The man holds up his palms. It's okay,
Speaker 1: he says, I'm not going to hurt you. Are you
Speaker 1: all right? You fight to catch your breath, looking frantically
Speaker 1: about for any sign of what was chasing you, but
Speaker 1: see only trees. Then you realize that hideous noise has stopped.
Speaker 1: Looking up, you see the man clearly now for the
Speaker 1: first time, his weathered face and his straggly beard. His
Speaker 1: clothes are made of a tough, strange looking material that
Speaker 1: make him look as though he's from another age. Two
Speaker 1: rabbit carcasses hang from a leather sack that he holds
Speaker 1: over his shoulder. Something was chasing me, you say, what was?
Speaker 1: He asks, looking round confused. You tell him everything about
Speaker 1: the dead body and that horrible sound. Didn't he hear it?
Speaker 1: You ask, But the man just smiles to himself. Sounds
Speaker 1: like some one's imagination has got the better of them,
Speaker 1: he says. Just then you feel a sharp pain in
Speaker 1: your arm and look down to see that it's bleeding profusely.
Speaker 1: There's a deep gash just below the elbow. You must
Speaker 1: have done it when you were running. Please, I'm lost,
Speaker 1: you say, Can you show me how to get out?
Speaker 1: My parents will be getting worried. That looks nasty, he says.
Speaker 1: Why don't we get my wife to fix it up
Speaker 1: for you. Then we can get you back to your parents.
Speaker 1: We live just over there. See he points toward a
Speaker 1: large wooden hut just visible through the trees, a small
Speaker 1: plume of smoke rising from the chimney. But you shake
Speaker 1: your head, please, you ask again, could you not just
Speaker 1: point me in the right direction? The man thinks for
Speaker 1: a moment, I'm afraid I can't do that, he says,
Speaker 1: taking a small step towards you. I could point you
Speaker 1: in the right direction, he says, Only I get the
Speaker 1: feeling you'd be in here all night, walking around in circles.
Speaker 1: Much better I show you, don't you think? A large
Speaker 1: crow shoots out of a nearby tree. The man laughs.
Speaker 1: See it's only a bird, he says. Go on head
Speaker 1: toward the cabin while I finish my errands, and I'll
Speaker 1: be back soon to pick you up. You think, for
Speaker 1: a moment, if you decide to go to the cabin.
