The Sore Face

The man in the blue collar shirt awoke that morning with an insatiable itching on the side of his cheek.

He scratched and scratched but the itch could not be satisfied.

He took his morning run, took a shower and ate breakfast. Still, the itch persisted.

By lunchtime, the itchy spot had started to ooze and had welted up into a small bump.

"I wonder if I have been bitten?" The man thought while absently scratching.

The night before had been a normal evening, dinner, a couple of drinks, chat on discord, watch a Netflix movie then off to bed.

Late afternoon came and the spot had increased in size and started to color a light gray shade.

The man thought "If this isn't any better by tomorrow, I am gonna have to get it looked at".

Evening came and the spot had Volcanoed into an angry black bump with a fiery red area on the top.

He thought he could see 1 black hair wiggling from the top.
"Could be an ingrown hair".

"Maybe if I just give it one good squeeze," said the man to himself.

The volcano area was hard but the man winced and squeezed, as he looked in the mirror.

The sore made a disgusting "SPLOOSH" sound as..........

Thousands of baby spiders erupted from the sore in his face.
