stung
i haven't been stung by a bee in a long time. it was the end of baseball practice. it was getting dark. so i couldn't see very well. i felt this pain in my wrist. i looked and in the fading light i saw what at the time thought was a bug biting me. so i squished it. it was a funny looking bug at type of which i didn't recognize. but man. it hurt way more than a normal bug bite. and it felt like liquid ice-fire running up my forearm. weird. but whatever. then the coach next to me freaks out and tells one the players to hold still. there was a bee on the kneeling player's calf. the coach flicked it off. sometime much later i wondered if that was the dying bee that had stung me. stupid thing. fortunately i'm not all that allergic. had a red circle the next day. which was gone the day after. it kinda reinforces this crazy idea i have that the wires in my brain are a bit crossed. my reaction to pain is more like the typical reaction to cold. and vice versa. that bee poison following the veins in my arm felt both painful and extremely cold.
