Woman'S Metamorphosis: Parallel Lives

I can see nothing but an unmitigated vast stretch of unimaginable solitude and chaos. One devastated neighborhood after another. One forlorn, dim moment of stillness leads to more destruction. Suddenly, I now hear an ululating, wailing, deafening howl, whose dizzying synchronicity pierces through me and thereafter unravels in an all-encompassing expansion wave...Amidst the raging, terrific noise, I can now hear also the squealing shriek of scurrying rats and the swirling racket made by hundreds of bloodied vultures fighting over the spoils of half-eaten carcasses of human bodies and partially eaten dogs strewn all over the cobblestones of Avenue de Saint-Cloud on the western edge of what had been Paris.
