Wish
And that makes me nervous.
I always get this particular itch when something bad is about to happen.
When Dad walked out of the trailer that last night, I nearly scratched my hand raw.
Just before I got the news of his death, I had to end up taping mittens to my hands to control myself from digging my nails into my skin.
Right now, I feel terrified as the prickling sensation on my hand intensifies.
“Are you okay?” Beth whispers to me, taking my hand.
As if by magic, the moment her cold hand touches mine, the itching sensation disappears. Shock filters through me, but before I can say anything, the ferry suddenly moves inside the heavy fog.
