I always feel it crawling. Many people think that I'm a drug addict because I always describe the feeling of something crawling underneath my skin. I've never done drugs at all in my life. I've tried explaining that, but people still won't believe me. I've even seen it crawling. I can see it making a bump in my skin that moves slowly across the surface. I don't understand why it hasn't died yet, it's been there for years. I hate the feeling of it crawling but I'm not brave enough to do anything. The crawling never stopped. Not in my sleep, not at work, no where. Then one day my nightmare got even worse.
  I began to feel multiple tiny legs crawling underneath my skin's surface. There were more of them. Whatever they were, they were using my body as their home. It was incredibly disturbing and uncomfortable. I began to feel like a drug addict like everyone said I was. I hated the feeling of them crawling. Although, it felt even worse once they crawled out of my skin. Slowly biting at my skin until they freed themselves. Many holes remained on my skin. Open wounds that of course got infected. I've never seen bugs like that before. But now that they were free from my body, who knows what will happen. I have a feeling this nightmare isn't over.
