Purua’s climate is wet and temperate, perfect for helping things grow. This did not apply just to fig trees and peaches. Our bedroom ceiling blossomed with mildew, wafting invisible spores on our heads. Slugs appeared in the bathroom, sliding wetly across the tiles. And a rich green slime began to coat the outside of the house, filling in the ridges on the wooden deck until the planks were as slippery as an ice rink.
    Our compost heap grew moist and slimy, and one morning I found a cluster o
...f pale, plump maggots writhing blindly on its surface. I should have known then that something fundamental in me had changed, because I did not scream or throw up, as a normal person would have done. Instead, I fetched a jar and collected the maggots for the chickens.
    The growth wasn’t relegated to slime, mold, and maggots. Everywhere I looked, little lambs began appearing in the pastures. Sometimes they were so small that all I could make out from the road was a tiny pair of ears, sometimes pink, sometimes black, peeking out above the top of the lush green grass.
