    Summary

    He actually doesn’t feel good at all; he’s feverish, and when he tries to turn around there’s a searing pain just below his ribs, like his skin is on fire, or like there’s a big scratch-wound there. He winces, tries to remember if he took a fall yesterday, but he can’t, he’s too dizzy.

    When he gently puts his hand on the right side of his stomach, the skin is burning hot and feels rugged underneath his fingertips, and when he lifts the cover to look he sees a dark patch there, about the size of his palm.

    He freezes, has to close his eyes for a moment.

    Surely, it can’t be, not this soon?

    But when he looks again, he’s sure.

    He’s gotten a mark. He’s only been eighteen for about a month, haven’t even had the time to start worrying about it yet.
