I watched my sister disappear as if the air were erasing her.
She pulled her arms open wide to expose what was left of the smashed chifforobe in her bedroom, ripping the doors askance.

The nest was burned out of her leg, leaving behind a crater the size of a marble. Once the infestation inside was cleaned and cleared with peroxide, the burned subcutaneous tissue was then shined and glossed over with a saline finish, the empty sanitized hole in her leg filled with sawdust and wood glue. When this solution hardened, they painted over the finished hole with a semi-permanent skin toner to conceal scarification.
