Stigma stigma I've got a stigma

For the longest time I've had this recurring itch on my right foot, on top, almost to the toes. Especially at night it itches, but there's never been any red spot or anything, so I just put it down to either a sign of oncoming spinal disease or Shit Happens.

Last week it was really itching like crazy and I rubbed it to make the itching go away. Instead, a wound opened. Just like that, right in the middle of my foot. It's been there for several days now.

I'm not sure what the medical significance is of this (the thing is healing up and still itching), but it's obvious that I now have my first stigma, and I'm on the way to sainthood. I just need the other foot, both hands, and one in my side and BAM! a full set of stigmata.

Just so y'all can say you knew me.

The Castle, Dude.

IgnatzMous: Today, K. attempts once again to enter the Castle but gets stuck in an AM/PM full of bro dudes buying extreme sports drinks.

Odradak: In fact, Hans was now seeking K's aid against his wrap-around sunglasses; it was as if he had been deluding himself in believing he wanted to help K., when in reality he had been wanting to discover whether, since nobody in his old surroundings had been able to help, this sudden newcomer, weho had now been mentioned by his mother, might perhaps be capable of doing so.
