A woman leads a placid cow through a drowsy summer meadow; the air thrums with clean life as they pick their way down to a stream. But when they get there, the water is foul: a bovine corpse is rotting in the mud. The woman recoils, turning back towards the living cow she has been leading. But sheâs gone â thereâs only lush summer air where the cow used to be. Most chillingly of all, the woman doesnât seem particularly surprised.Â
