Excerpt 4 ­ page 57 (translated 30/08/06)

be a substantial leap to 2001, the tail end of a period that the house fell into serious neglect. save for a sickly caretaker the house has been abandoned. you will find yourself on the front drive in the middle of the night. walk straight towards the solitary light that will be burning in an upstairs window. do not veer as the verge of the path is bordered with animal traps. do not be alarmed by the crunching underfoot; due to the untended undergrowth the drive will be swarming with snails.

when you reach the house you will hear a sizeable commotion within. if you pull aside the foliage that covers the face of the house and if you can see through the filthy windows, you will see frenetic movement. the house, although abandoned by humans, is full of horses. the animals are insane with hunger and claustrophobia so entry into the house is impossible. your task lies elsewhere.

it is now extremely dangerous to be in such proximity to the house. make for the empty swimming pool behind the
