THE SALT WORKER

An old woman with red hair, absolutely frightful, terribly ugly, terribly disgusting is walking with difficulty in the city of Batz sur mer. Freezing to death, she decides to knock on someone's door to warm up inside. The old woman stops in front of a house and knocks on the door.

A man, about one meter ninety tall, well stocky, with long blond hair, lets her come in his house. In the main room, there are just a simple chair, a bench and a table, just the bare minimum. The man invites her to sit on the bench in front of the fireplace and he offers her a good hot soup.

Seeing that the woman seems numbed by the cold, he goes to fetch a woollen cloth to warm her up, and a log to boost the fire in the fireplace.

He leaves the old and horrible woman on the bench for a short moment and notices with surprise that his dog is afraid of coming near her.
