Untitled

Her mother told her that the bumps on her fingers were probably some allergic reaction to something she touched, but she was pretty sure she didn't touch anything exciting that day she first discovered them. Since then, she washed her hands profusely, and deliberately drank more water so that she could use the toilet extra times, without generating any suspicion for using too much of the toilet, in case anyone was watching her.

In the privacy of the toilets, which was the only place that she thought was truly private, she stared at the bumps until some time after she was convinced that aliens must have had implanted something strange in her finger. It was on her ring finger. Perhaps the aliens married her!

Perhaps the little lumps were actually alien eggs laid in her fingers, because perhaps that was how aliens reproduced!

Finally, she decided that she had to cut off her hand because the alien worms or whatever organism would try to overtake her by her nervous system. By the time she realised this, they must have overtaken her entire hand. No. She should cut off her entire arm just to play it safe.
