She iookedjust like a ghost becauseher eyelids were badly burncd and swollen.
FIer lips, swollen and protruding, made her mouth look liLe a monkey's. j. Aithough she wes under mosquito nerting, the skin of her whole burned body on which maggots were breeding had the appearance of the crust of a crab.
