Novel & Cerita Broken Blood Vessels On Shoulders After Working Out

I lay in a mangled heap and grasp for air, mouth opening and body trying, but I’m like a fish out of water. Unable to do anything at all except whine under my breath, and claw weakly at the dirt around me, trying like crazy to inflate my lungs even an inch. My shoulder’s wet from a severe set of puncture wounds that extend up onto the side of my neck, and I know it’s probably my jugular that’s making the flow so intense. The throbbing coming from there, in time to my low and weak heartbeat, pulsing out my blood with every thud.

I folded it and pressed again until the bleeding slowed. My hands were shaking as I reached for the vegetables. I pulled out a carrot and a knife and set them on the cutting board, but my fingers couldn't seem to grip the handle properly. The knife clattered against the board, and I had to stop and press my palms flat against the counter and take a breath. My shoulder throbbed with every heartbeat, and my jaw was stiff and sore, and I could already feel the swelling starting to puff up the skin under my chin.

He reached for a glass of water on the nightstand and helped me sit up. I tried to move my arms, and a sharp, stinging pain shot through my shoulders. It wasn't the bone-deep cold of the shadow, but it felt like my muscles had been pulled too tight. As I reached for the glass, I saw them. The silver marks. In the bright daylight and they looked like they were part of my skin, like a natural pattern. The lines started at the base of my throat and wound down my arms, ending in delicate, swirling points at my wrists.

The sudden release of tension was physical, almost violent. His chest was heaving, the thin black training vest damp and clinging to the sharp lines of his ribs. His breath came in rapid, ragged plumes of white mist that swirled around his face before vanishing into the freezing gloom. Beneath the fabric, his left shoulder was screaming—a deep, hot, throbbing ache that radiated from the fractured collarbone straight down to his chest. The black athletic tape had held, but the sheer force of the triple Lutz’s landing impact had stretched the adhesive to its absolute limit, pulling the raw skin beneath it taut.

The bruise is of a softer shade but still hurts a bit. "Ok, Miss Franklin, you should be really careful with any physically strenuous activities. Your complete left shoulder and arm should be at rest as much as possible," she advises me. "Thank you, Nurse Joan," I say after reading her tag. "Will I be able to go to work? I mean, not today, but later on the week?" She ponders unsure. "I will have to consult with the doctor," and just like that, both Ro and him walk in.
