The story of a man returning to his family farm to care for his ailing and abusive father. The narrator struggles with deep-seated trauma from his childhood, including his father’s cruelty and the mysterious death of his mother, while noticing strange occurrences connected to the farm’s productivity. He eventually uncovers a horrifying secret: the fertile land is sustained by a pulsating, fleshy pit that requires live sacrifices, which his father had been providing, including the narrator’s pet rabbit and, shockingly, his own mother. This revelation drives the narrator to a final, grim act of vengeance, feeding his father to the pit, only to realize he has inherited his father’s monstrous legacy and the burden of maintaining it. The story explores themes of generational trauma, abuse, and the price of keeping a terrible secret linked to the land.
