"Onion burial," Lilith murmured, breaking the silence in the Lander house as she rose from the dinner table and walked toward the front door. A portion of her insect legion responded immediately, swarming around the house and linking together like pieces of a puzzle until they formed multiple layers of a corpse-dome around it—layers that soon resembled the bulb of an onion.
A moment later, the corpse-onion began to sink, burrowing into the earth and dragging the entire house down with it. Ahead of it, Lilith walked unhurried and calm, moving toward the large curse entity as if she had all the time in the world, even as the fire spread from the Lander tangerine orchard to the nearby Lansky avocado orchard and then toward the surrounding fields, unchecked by any interruption.
With every step Lilith took, the ground beneath her shuddered as grotesque cursed corpses began to claw their way to the surface, rising one after another to obediently fall in line behind her.
