Note to moderator: Read the answerline carefully. Note to players: Description acceptable. While preparing for this event, two men leave a pigsty at a time of day when “you could still count the stars with your finger.” The narrator’s dream of a young girl chewing corn is disrupted by a woman trying to have sex with him, but she stops because his smell reminds her of this event. A man is unable to run away from this event because his mother had locked the door to their house, believing that he was in the upstairs room. This event is foreshadowed by a man’s (*) dream of going through a rainy grove of timber trees. The perpetrators of this event use butcher’s knives wrapped in newspaper and are motivated by its victim, the fiancé of Flora Miguel, having deflowered their sister Ángela. For 10 points, name this crime which a town collectively fails to prevent the Vicario brothers from committing in a novella by Gabriel García Márquez. ■END■
