Story

"For most people in the planes Grist visits, she is an event, a flash of light in the sky that precedes a swarm of voracious insects that consumes everything in its path, be it plant life, be it animal life, be it sentient life. And with the same ominous flash of light the swarm vanishes to another plane, ready to consume again."
