Title: Glitter Bugs
Date: 22 September 2003

I was up North staying at a cottage on a river. I was with two beautiful women and we just back from hiking along the river bank. The woman sat on the edge of the river with their legs striaght out in front of them, side by side, and I stood looking at them. They were maybe sisters, both with long wavy dark hair. They both wore flowing, long skirts with fairly sheer, loose tops. One woman noticed that she had been bitten by something on her arm, and that the bite was a little strange looking. When we got in close for a look, there was bite mark surrounded by an embedded ring of extremely fine, silver glitter in the shape of a heart. She complained that it was itchy and that she couldn't scratch the glitter off... it was a bite from the glitter bug. She wasn't feeling well, and we weren't sure what to do. I decided to look under her skirt at her legs, and one of them was changing. The skin was hardening into a white bumpy shell, and her foot was changing into a paw with sharp claws. I didn't want to tell her what was happening, but then it started to happen to the other leg too. I was getting really worried. The other woman noticed she had the same type of bite, but she was fine. She ran into the cottage to get some ice to put on the other woman's legs. It was at that point, I realized it must be an alergic reaction and all we had to do was get her to the hospital. I calmed down at that thought, and we stood her up to go get her in the car. Her legs were a little different in length, so she had to limp a bit.
