A woman named Moyan received a piglet from her lover, a married man who won't leave his wife. He claimed it was an expensive, rare species of piglet that would stay small forever, so Moyan dubbed it Tiny, and for a while the three lived in happiness. Only, Tiny began to grow into an ordinary pig, and Moyan's lover abandoned her, forcing her to raise it alone. She was left haunted by her mother's judgement from the afterlife of Moyan's position as a single, aging woman with a pig for a companion. Now, Moyan's landlord claims other tenants are angry she has a pet pig, and she must get rid of it or he will send butchers for it. Overwhelmingly sad, Moyan waits until the final day, ignoring his nightly text messages reminding her. She is wracked with guilt, for she promised herself she would not ignore her landlord as his daughter does, but cannot give up her beloved companion. At last, it is too late for Moyan to sell the pig. She realizes she has raised a large creature to account for her own smallness and unimportance. Because she was unwilling to part with it, she now cannot avoid the butchers coming to kill it, and has cost Tiny its life.
