“I am a coward.
Spectavi cum familia mea arderet. Ignavus sum.
Luca Lenci CHAPTER 24 “Tens, turn around.” I grabbed his collar and pushed it down to peer at his skin. Streaks of red bumps and fluid-filled blisters lined his neck, disappearing down below, on his back and over his shoulders. “Do they itch?”
“Yeah, they feel more like stings, though.”
“I don’t think so.” Seeing his back made my own start to itch. I was one of those people who should never go to medical school—give me a list of symp...toms and I totally start thinking I have them.

My back and forearms burned too.
“Tens?”

“Humor me and look down my shirt, will you?” I turned, already pushing up my sleeves. I gasped.
My forearms were ugly masses of blisters.MoreLess
