The mud chills your bare feet but the inhuman gaze of the thing wearing the farmer's skin chills you more. It's been staring at you from uppermost floor, one lone light staring out as you as you tread just beyond the borders of ts territory.
This was supposed to be a safe place. The farmer was supposed to be human and you were supposed to give him the final component for the targeted bioweapon that would wipe out the skinstealers but you were as late to saving the world as you were to work every day.
Now you were left skulking around, wondering where the little one that stole your shoes and your bag - The Bag Containing The Key To Saving The World - had scampered off to. With any luck it had just buried everything underneath a tree like they usually do.
Knowing your luck though, the thing wearing the farmer now had it and you'd have to traipse about its lair while it was asleep and hope you could figure out how to finish the weapon and use it before the damned thing woke up.
And that's if it was going to sleep at all now that it knew you were so close by and not leaving any time soon.
