PLAGUE RAT, an eleven- or twelve-year-old urchin raggedly but practically dressed for a long and lonely journey, walks away from the camera down a dirt road. The field beside is overgrown.

There is a cart or wagon in the overgrowth, something that hints that this place is abandoned.

In the distance is an early medieval / anglosaxon village. This village is built along a cliff, and there is a single, modest, burh or castle that defends against the sea.
