sanity—to herself. But it was no use. Fighting it was useless. The
darkness was now part of her, like a piece of her soul. She

throbbed in her arm from her wrist to her elbow, foul and
monstrous.

She was changing, and not into a beautiful
butterfly. She was becoming an abominable and evil monster.
