The night air was still safe for the ghostly clanking of the boats in the harbor as they bobbed gently up and down in the ice-cold water.

1:02.6

Up above, thick dark clouds swirled as a ceaseless barrage of snow fell steadily onto everything in sight.

1:12.6

From opposite the harbor, the doors of the half-naughty or dear town hall swung open, rupturing for a moment the silence of the sleepy Icelandic fishing town with a blast of ecstatic rock music.

1:26.6

18-year-old Goodmunder Einesen and his friend stumbled out the doorway into the snow as the door whipped shut behind them, muffling the music from inside.

1:39.6

Laughing together, Goodmunder took a sweep from a bottle of brandy while his friend lit up a cigarette and gazed out across the harbor for a moment before the pair of them disappeared into the snow.

Though she couldn't see what was in it, she had the horrible sense that it was a body.

2:50.6

It was only then that Christian saw Ertler standing in the doorway, angered by her presence, he ordered the others to pick up the bundle and together they barged past Ertler and disappeared out of the apartment.

3:05.6

Siva returned moments later and told Ertler, under no uncertain terms, never to breathe the word of what she had just seen to anyone and then left again.

3:17.6

Confused and scared, Ertler went back to bed and eventually fell asleep.

3:24.6

The next morning, she noticed a bedsheet at the bottom of the rubbish bin outside that was covered in feces.

Ertler sat back and waited for a response from the three men sat opposite her.
