Kalene dreamed she had worms burrowing inside the bones of her face, coiling around her jaw and cheekbones, wriggling around under her skin. The worms crawl in the worms crawl out the worms play pinochle in you snout. In the pit of that dream the difference between being alive and dead was where the worms started from. When you're dead they come in from the outside; when you're alive, they come out from the inside. They come in skinny and come out fat.
