Why Is Farmer Doug's Murder?
Farmer Doug was lying in the corner of his blazing barn, crouched down, quietly weeping while his severed leg was spurting blood. Through his cries of pain, he could hear the nightmarish moo of his beloved cow, Betsy. As her footsteps drew close, he could only ponder how this happened. How could he have been so stupid? What did this? Who did this? Finally it hit him, it started that week when he took the cows for their first bath in the newly cleaned river.

It was a sunny, happy day; his cows were walking joyfully along the trail to the river. Farmer Doug was taking his cows to bathe in water and experience the joys of cleanliness again. The river had been previously occupied by a demonic cult. They had worshiped an evil spirit. He didn’t

The next morning, Beatrice was running around crazily, Betsy was mooing like wild and Bailey was lying on the floor like she was dead. Was she dead? Farmer Doug never checked because he thought she was asleep. Oh well, nothing he could do about it now. Besides a few deaths, his cows were mysteriously disappearing. Being the lazy, dumb farmer he is, Farmer Doug suspected it was a coyote so he locked the cows in the same room. Stupid idea. He only helped the possession spread.

The obituary and front pages of The Animal Times and Friendly Farmers Weekly was overrun with his cattle; Betsy, his prize winning cow was the first to go missing, then, Beatrice and Bella had died, on the third night Bonnie and Brandy went missing. On the fourth night, Bea, Barbara, and Becky disappeared too. After that had lost 20 more cows that either died or disappeared. Farmer Doug grew suspicious and called the sheriff, but the phones were dead. He gave up and convinced himself that it was a freak accident, then went inside to catch some

He couldn’t see, but all he could feel was an excruciating pain in his leg. He could hear a slow, rhythmic chanting, that reverberated in his chest. It chilled him to the bone. Suddenly, he felt a cloth being taken off of his head. He came face to face with a demon possessed Betsy; her eyes had become milky white. Half of her face was completely exposed, and pus was oozing out of her charred skin. Her eyes were bleeding, and the blood was dripping onto his face, in hot, sticky, drops. The chant became louder, and he now understood what they were chanting; Rakshad. Rakshad was the spirit that the demonic cult by the river had worshipped, and he now knew that that “bonk” had released him. In her drooling mouth, she held a intricately engraved knife, with a 5 pointed star in the middle. Even from a distance, he could tell it was wickedly sharp. He could barely lift his head, for he was weak due to blood loss. Around him he saw his cows, all with bleeding milky white eyes. They were in a perfect circle around him. Chanting louder; Rakshad, Rakshad. He looked on the ground and with horror, he realized that he was in the middle of an enormous pentagram, painted with blood that he knew was his. The chanting was all around him. Louder, LOUDER. RAKSHAD RAKSHAD. In consummate terror, He tried to drag himself out of the pentagram. His vision was red with blood and pain. LOUDER. LOUDER, RAKSHAD, RAKSHAD. The sound was deafening now, RAKSHAD.

    It is clearly evident that the plot of the short story by Ross is a superior version compared to Wheeler's, however there are similarities in both the teleplay and the short story. A boy goes searching for two lost cows and after searching the whole day he finally spots them. He watches them as they go into a man's stable; he follows, where the hostile Arthur Vickers greets him. He convinces Vickers to let him search the barn and finds nothing but is certain that they are being hidden in a closed stall. He stays the night and in the morning makes a desperate attempt to break into the closed stall, after a fight with Vickers he returns home. He explains to his uncle and aunt that Vickers has the cows hidden at his place but then he is informed that the cows had returned shortly after he left. It is clear that the two versions of plots have several similarities but it's the differences that make Ross's work superior. In Wheeler's adaptation of the plot she destroys every exciting and mysterious aspect that makes the story so intriguing. When the boy searches the barn and goes to the boarded up stall, he suspects that Vickers is hiding the cows. When he asks what is in there, Vickers replies with a large grin on his face, "Nothing you'd be interested in." Later on when Vickers goes out to bed down the stables, the boy follows him and hears him yell, "Get back in there"¦get!" Then when Vickers returns from the barn he brings in with him a bottle that he didn't have before. When these three parts are put together it is obvious what is going on.…

    He’s-“ The creature yelled, and midsentence it just vanished. After that, I began to notice strange shapes coming into view in the distance, and I realized that I was now standing on what appeared to be the roof of a high-rise in the middle of an unfamiliar city. I looked over the edge of the building, and once again I couldn’t tell if there was any end. As I stood there trying to find my bearings, I was shaken from my thoughts by the sound of clanking metal. I turned to find the source of the noise, and saw a metal cage. In the middle of the cage sat a ragged looking man with manacles on his wrists and ankles chaining him to the floor of the cage. His clothes, if one could call those rags clothes, were tattered and torn. He appeared extremely malnourished, every curve of his ribs showing just beneath the skin. His hair was dark, and matted with filth, and his face was gaunt and sickly. In stark contrast to his appearance were his eyes. He looked close to death, but his bright emerald green eyes still seemed to be full of life, and they looked strangely familiar.…
