SETTING: BERGISCHES LAND

"The crows are showing absolutely no fear of him. There are quite a few of them, at least twenty ... At that moment he notices the smell. Sweet. Rotten. Decay, his brain signals to him... The smell becomes worse the higher he climbs. Cawing, the black birds plummet from the sky and then gyre upwards again."

SILENT IS THE FOREST
