Five-Second Foreshadowing | |
| The Interlopers / int_381855db | comment |
Five-Second Foreshadowing: Ulrich briefly emphasizes the speed at which the figures descending the hill are moving, already hinting that there's something off about them. He also mentions that there are 9 or 10 of them, to which Georg responds that he only had seven men with him when he set out, and the reader never finds out how many men Ulrich himself had with him. Despite this, neither thinks too much of it until it's too late. | |

Downer Ending: After being trapped under the fallen tree for some time, the two men finally realize that their years-long feud had been for naught and swear to help the other out should their men come to rescue them, with hopes of returning to their respective territories as friends. And then they get devoured by the wolves they unintentionally drew the attention of with their calls for help. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Interlopers / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Where are the men Ulrich and Georg set out with? Georg mentions he had seven men with him, while Ulrich brought his own undisclosed number of men, and yet none of them are around when the men call for help after being pinned under a tree for (presumably) several hours. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
| The Interlopers / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: "The Interloper" is what the two lead men view each other as, as they believe the other is an intruder attempting to steal their rightful territory from them and are willing to kill each other over it to secure ownership. By the end of the story, the men learn the hard way that they're the real interlopers, trespassing in the territory of wolves, the actual owners of the forest that they've fought each other for decades over. | |

Cruel Twist Ending | |
| The Interlopers / int_a4cd4fc6 | comment |
Cruel Twist Ending: The two leads are eaten alive by wolves after finally reconciling their differences and promising to end their families' generations-long feud, which, ironically, had only continued to be perpetuated by their disdain for each other and would have long since died out otherwise. | |
