   Summary

   Four months.
   Four months of this.
   The headaches started first — dull and manageable. A throb behind his right eye that pulsed in time with his heartbeat. He ignored it. Drank more coffee. Slept less.
   Then the nosebleeds.
   At first just a smear when he wiped his face.
   Now—
   Something warm slides over his upper lip.
   He freezes.
   Slowly, he lifts his hand.
   Red.
   Thick.

   Mike is under Vecna’s curse :)
