I feel them.

I feel their legs marching on my arms like teeny, tiny soldiers.  When I look down, I see nothing, but I swear they are there, just the same.

The feeling that I have bugs crawling up and down my arms has cost me a good night's sleep for the past week, week-and-a-half.  It's not so bad during the day: it's at night when the sensation intensifies, and sometimes I swear I'm about to go mad.

When I get up in the morning, I look up and down my arms,carefully, yet I don't see anything out of the ordinary.  No marks, no bite marks, no rashes ... nothing.  I tell people about what I am experiencing, and they look at me as though I have lost my everloving mind.

Last night was one of the worst nights ever.  The buggy feeling came back and it didn't let up all night long.  I kept getting up and going to the bathroom, scared that I'd find a nasty waterbug or (cringecringecringe!) a spider, but nothing materialized.  My arms looked ... normal.

What am I to do?? If I don't get any relief from this buggy feeling soon, I just might end up gong to the mental hospital or even doing away with myself: I can't take it much longer!!!!
