The water flailed and tossed about everything in its path. There was no ford or a place where the water could be crossed. Not even a galleon or large sailing ship could have escaped the liquid ogre or monster.

The waves came suddenly: as if someone banged his gavel, mallet or hammer, and then came the water. No men could humanly walk with an even gait or keep an even manner of walking. No men could, due to the force of the fiend or monster, walk gingerly or carefully. Everyone appeared gossamer or sheer or delicate in front of the water. There was not even enough time to gawk or stare at the wall of water. No trees were spared except those with the widest girth. The animals' hackles and hairs on their back and neck rose and they ran.

A child was trying to pick up a pestle from nearby shallow water, wanting to use the tool to pound and grind nuts into edible form. The floor used to be a parquet, made of wood strips in mosaic-like pattern. It no longer was a parquet. Everything was mangy, shabby and wretched. Where was the kid's dad? The old man had his right arm pinioned and restrained against his body by a fallen tree.
