Chapter 11

After going out for a run and taking a shower, I was comfortably lying in bed. I took out my phone, planning to play a game.

Suddenly, I felt something cold on my nose.

I figured my allergies were acting up again.

That's not right, mucus doesn't taste like this.

Confused, I instinctively touched my nose—ice-cold, bright red liquid stained my fingers.
