An Itch

I've recently had this itch that won't let me sleep. It started fairly small. A small sensation in the crook of my elbow. But it slowly began to spread, down my forearm, across my wrist, over my palm and to the tips of my fingers. Google says that it's either allergies or death. Both sound equally as bad to me. Maybe it's the anxiety I've been feeling these past days that pricks at my skin. Or possibly the built up stress that makes my arm sting. All I know is that it itches, a lot. And it's gotten to the point where I hear the itch calling me. I can't help dragging my nails across my skin, digging for an answer, revealing raw flesh and hopefully some relief for this damn itch that won't go away. Or maybe it doesn't actually itch. And it's all in my head.
