About the book: year / A mosquito squeaks quietly, flies a couple of circles over the victim and sits on a pink shoulder, tries it on for a while and puts its proboscis under the skin. A moment later the insect tries to fly. The wings flutter to no avail. The bite site darkens and descends into the shoulder, drawing in the mosquito. Half a minute later he is no longer visible. The dark pit on the shoulder straightens and becomes covered with a pink coating, which soon becomes indistinguishable from the surrounding skin.
