Look at the back of your hand.
Is it as you remember?
Has anything changed?
Are your veins still flowing with blood?
Do they flow with something else?
Are they even veins?
They are not all veins.
On your right hand where a prominent vein should be
is a scorpion.
It sits under your skin but not so far that you can't
see it.
It waits for you to look away.
When you do it burrows further into your skin.
If you've never seen the scorpion under the skin of
your right hand, I'm sorry.
I am so, so sorry.
The most you will live is a week.
Expect blinding pain and internal bleeding.
