The story

After missing a bus in the Zurich countryside, 14-year-old Danish tourist Vera Brandt comes across a cottage and is beheaded by an unseen assailant, who retains her body.

Upon noticing the affection his captive insects have for Jennifer, McGregor comes to believe that she has a telepathic link with them.

Later, when the other students taunt Jennifer for her connection to insects, she summons a swarm of flies that covers the entire building, prompting the headmistress to arrange for her transfer to a mental hospital.
