Bite

I don't feel the sting.

But it's there.

A few minutes later, I feel that itch in a particular place.

Dammit.

I can't scratch that, can I?

I'm squirming around in discomfort, the itch growing horribly itchy, until I just can't stand it any more.

"Mummy, I have an itch."

"Alright, scratch it then."

"B-But I can't!"

Sigh. "Deal with it."

Stupid itches that can't be scratched.

Stupid mosquitoes.
