   Summary

   The infection is a disease of the mind caused by an angry god who is dying from a lack of worship and belief.
   So what happens when they believe a simple item can keep her from their minds?
   After all, what is a god to a nonbeliever?

   A frightened human who doesn't know how she ended up in Hallownest tells a white lie to some children to help them with their irrational fears. It spirals out of control.
