I enter my parents barn to find a pink lounger. It was abandoned here a long time ago. I pull it from the dusty cardboard box it is in. As a go to set down the lounger, I see an eggsack attatched to the it.It was the size of basketball and filled with wriggling larvae. Carrie, my corgi, runs up and eats the eggsack. I know they will infest her. I force her jaws apart and make her vomit up the eggsack. Most of the larvae are dead but some still wiggle. I step on one to crush it. Only it doesn't die. I can feel it burrow through my shoe. I try to get away, but it made it into my flesh. I sit and look through the hole in the sole of my shoe. I can see into my foot. The larvea is wrapping itself around one of my heel bones. I need to remove it.
