The sun bleaches the narrow dirt road of the village, cicadas buzzing in the tall grass. Heat shimmers rise from the fields as you wander, finally collapsing onto a shaded bench hemmed in by hedges. A breeze stirs, then dies. From behind the trimmed wall, a slow, deliberate sound breaks the stillness: "Po." A pause. "Po." A shift of fabric. Then, "Po." You freeze—something tall stands just out of sight, waiting for you to look.
