It began as a mild irritation, but soon “it was itching his body — not just a simple, fleeting sensation but a constant, maddening itch.” At first, he thought it was harmless, maybe “an allergic reaction to something he’d eaten or a new detergent on his clothes.”
However, the itch grew worse with time, spreading from his arms and legs to “his neck, his back, even his scalp.” The feeling became unbearable, “as if his skin was being pricked by hundreds of tiny needles.”
He tried to ignore it, scratching in hopes of relief, but “the relief was only temporary,” and each time, the irritation returned stronger.
Hours passed, and the persistent itching consumed his thoughts, leaving him restless and desperate for an explanation.
What began as a minor annoyance turned into torment — a mysterious reaction that his body couldn’t escape.
