a moment time held forever

two cute round-faced teenage hasidic boys with long blond curls falling down the sides of their faces are standing next to one another playing banjos. they are standing in a snow-covered field that is almost completely white except for a few small trees and a wire fence far off in the distance. in front of the boys is a halfway-dying deer with an arrow sticking straight through its neck, and a small pool of blood collecting beneath it in the snow. the deer is beautiful and cream colored; it is looking up painfully at the sky & it seems to be in a considerable amount of pain & agony. despite the cold and the snow, neither brother is wearing a shirt, only long black pants. the two boys look like identical twins except that one boy is a bit more pudgy than the other. their skin is very white and sickly. you can see their footprints in the snow. both boys have long dirty fingernails and pointed teeth.
