¨¨#¨¨#¨#¨#    COVERED IN WHAT'S LEFT OF HER PREY.   ¨#¨#¨#¨#¨#
¨##¨##¨#¨#  SHE SMILES AT US, FLASHING HER TEETH,   ##¨#¨#¨#¨#
¨¨#¨¨#¨#¨#             A RAY OF STINGS.             ¨#¨#¨#¨#¨#

¨##¨##¨#¨#  THE SKIN STARTING AT THE GUTS, MOVING   ##¨#¨#¨#¨#
¨¨#¨¨#¨#¨#  UP OVER THE RIBCAGE, TOWARDS THE HEAD.  ¨#¨#¨#¨#¨#

¨##¨##¨#¨#    INSIDE, GRAB AND PULL (HOLD THE CUT   ##¨#¨#¨#¨#
¨¨#¨¨#¨#¨#   DOWNARD AT THIS POINT) AND IT SHOULD   ¨#¨#¨#¨#¨#
¨##¨##¨#¨#  ALL BE FALLING OUT. FOR STICKY ORGANS   ##¨#¨#¨#¨#
