It was a cloudy day when I ran into a strange, beautiful woman in the countryside of Cambodia. Everyone referred to her as Ahp. She lived alone in an isolated house by the edge of the village. No one seemed to know where she came from. But ever since she did, more and more mysterious things seem to be happening.
