* WickedWasps: Trisha is stung all over by a swarm of wasps after upsetting their nest. Later, after gorging on checkerberries and their leaves, and some beechnuts, Trish has a dream (or maybe it's not a dream) in which she is visited by representatives of three conceptions of god: the God of Tom Gordon, the Subaudible, and the wicked God of the Lost. While the first two are benevolent and look like her science teacher and her father respectively, the third one is hostile and has the form of a human skeleton completely covered in wasps. Her earlier experience with wasps may explain why she imagined the evil god to look like wasps.
