Empath

The young butcher and cattle farmer Sonja works on her grandparents' small family cattle farm. She loves her animals, just like the roast beef on Sundays. When one of her animals disappears, she goes on a search and meets an unknown, highly intelligent creature from a foreign world in the forest. She panics and breaks her leg trying to run away. After the creature takes her to its shelter, an abandoned cabin in the woods, it seems friendly to her surprise. It heals her injuries and shares its food with her. It's curious and seems to enjoy communicating with Sonja in its own odd way. But when the creature realizes that Sonja is cognitively inferior to him, it slaughters the young woman and then eats her.
