This piece is an abstraction of a scene in Guy Maupassants’ “The Devil”

The story follows a peasant, who negotiates a flat rate with a mercenary nurse, La Rapet, to care for his dying 92-year-old mother, hoping to save money. When the old woman takes too long to die, threatening La Rapet’s profit, the nurse frightens her to death by impersonating the devil.
