A recurring dream. There are fish, chickens, cows, who all look and sound like people and people who look kind of familiar.
They dream about the past mainly, a past that they don’t belong to but a past that wants to belong to them. And then there’s a butcher, killing people.
The dream circles around, going back to the start again and again; a dream they can’t get escape.
