Chapter 83

“Dude, you’re bleeding,” Daniel says lamely as he sees the marks on my stomach. “This can’t be good.”

“Just hand me over some bandages.” I motion for him to go on and fetch me some. “I’m not in pain in any way. I think the effort of the day just reopened some things and that has to be pretty normal, right?”

Daniel doesn’t look very convinced by my lie but he quickly runs off anyway and comes back with some disinfectant and gauze. I take off my shirt and crumple it into a ball so I can hide it in the washer much quicker later, and Daniel helps me soak the gauze in some disinfectant before dabbing away at the mess.

Contrary to what I originally thought, the wounds didn’t completely reopen. There are some areas that have been scratched open, though, and I don’t know what caused that. I don’t even know why they caused so much bleeding.

As I wrap up my torso and wear the extra shirt that Daniel also brought, I can’t help but get worried about what the scratches would do in the future,
