Mountain Rat

A chilling, gothic fable in which the narrator is bitten by a mountain rat while out in the forest. Recalling his grandfather once told him of a bamboo hut where members of the tribe could quarantine for up to two years when they got ill, he rushes home to say goodbye to his wife Yu-Su and pack his bags as a troubling sickness takes hold.

O fabula infioratoare, gotica, in care naratorul este muscat de un sobolan de munte in timp ce este in padure. Amintindu-si ca bunicul sau i-a spus odata despre o coliba de bambus in care membrii tribului puteau intra in carantina timp de pana la doi ani cand s-au imbolnavit, el se grabeste acasa sa-si ia ramas bun de la sotia sa Yu-Su si sa-si impacheteze bagajele in timp ce o boala tulburatoare ia stapanire.
