...this wasteland until it is felled by a slow-motion arrow. The silent, heavily bearded archer moves on into a shack, where a man has hanged himself. The archer notices the dead man's boots and appropriates them. He cooks himself a meal - fillet of feline - and feeds a morsel of it to a stray rat.
