Day 28: A scar you have and its story
People most frequently ask about a little hole in my leg. It's a small dip in the skin. It looks like a hole from far away, but it doesn't go very deep. It's from a spider bite. We often like to assume that it's from a brown recluse because a big hole at the time formed in my leg, although it wasn't as bad as some of the horror stories I've heard with brown recluses.
Anyways, I was about ten at the time I got this scar. It was very painful when I first had the bite and the real hole. I could hardly put weight on my leg for a few days. It hurt. Ever since I got this scar, I've been terrified of spiders.
But I don't mind the funny story I now can tell because of the scar
