There exists a fine line in literature between intentional ambiguity, and flat out offering no explanation for something. This pertains to the children in the basement of heavily-cliched remote barn. While this is definitely not POTM material, it's imagery, characterisation of the teacher and the ending where the narrator assumes the role of alcoholic that his teacher did do elevate this pasta to well above average. 7.5/10
