    Summary

    Six months after Keith turned sixteen, it happened. A light tint started appearing on his right wrist, and a warm tingle began to dance across his skin. The colour bled darker for weeks until it formed visible scrawl, marked and burned into his existence, and Keith felt like the world had fallen.

    ~*~

    Katie’s mark had started coming in before her birthday, and had cleared into words the day after the celebration; the tentative excitement had been broken by mixed feelings of its tingling appearance on the skin of her left wrist. Besides the unusual—and bad luck—placement on her left wrist, the words that appeared didn’t fill her or her parents with any joy. Maybe if they had been better, less ominous, they might have thought her lucky.
