it started off simply enough; just a tickle.

then it swelled. then i was fine.

soon after spending the morning in the rain, i was tired.

so i slept and got better. i made it through the movie.

the next morning i was okay until the afternoon.

the faucet could not be turned off.

and now i’ve lost my sense of smell and the pain is everywhere.

this has gone on far too long.
