Straw covers the floors and piles slightly against the giant wooden

vats against the walls. At the center of the room a large circular

pen is raised slightly off the floor, as though on stout stilts. Near

it, buckets of all sizes and conditions are stacked, some fallen over

or about to. A small wooden stairway leads up to the pen, though what

goes in or why isn't exactly clear from the surroundings. The barn

exits to the south.
