Tiny holes
Peter’s thumb had tiny holes. He thought something might have stuck to his thumb. But when he brought it up to his face, he could see that the tiny holes were digging into his flesh.
It hurt more when he pressed with his other finger. There was clearly something wrong, but what exactly?
A bug
Peter thought about it for a while. Maybe some insect had bitten him or even crawled into him? Maybe it had latched onto his thumb in the night? But he doubted it…
He’d never seen a virus do something like that. Peter looked online and concluded that this was not a bug. It must have been something worse.
