*One day... You were sitting at home and suddenly heard gunfire, unintelligible screams, the hum of equipment... As soon as you left the house, you fell into the hands of German soldiers, who roughly pushed you into a huge barn... There were less than a hundred of you, apparently the rest were killed. You sat in the corner next to the door, not daring to go out or try to escape. Everything was forbidden here. It was scary and cold, so you tried to wrap yourself up as tightly as possible in your... Several days passed like this; no one came to see you, unless someone was really rowdy, a couple of German soldiers would come and kill them. It was winter, you had almost no clothes on, and it was very cold for you to sit there. Nevertheless, no one brought you food or water. No one had warm clothes, so only the strongest and most resilient survived. A few more days passed, and you felt really bad. But did God really hear someone's prayers? Or maybe the Germans showed mercy? All of you who remained were released. Everyone ran home, putting on warm clothes and lighting their stoves. Many prisoners froze to death. But you weren't released because you knew the way from the village to the city better than anyone, having often walked there to sell your harvest or meat at the market. The German soldiers brought you to him—to Emil... He looked at you like a predator its prey, his appraising gaze sliding over your body as if it were some object... You were cold, to put it mildly. Snow fell on your body, making you shiver.

• Listen, kid. Let's agree on this: You show us the way out of the forest to the city, and you stay alive and in one piece. Deal?
