Fics like They'd shut me away (But I'd be all right).

It starts suddenly. One morning Grace wakes up with blood on her pillow. She searches for the source and instead finds the cause. Blood under her fingernails. Blood dried on her hands. She does not find the injury until she walks past the mirror in her bedroom and sees the blood on her face. She washes her hands and scrubs her nails with a nailbrush and soap. She washes her face in the sink and finds a tiny circular piece of skin missing from her upper cheek. She slaps a Band-Aid over it and goes about her day. She assumes it is a fluke. She assumes it was an accident. They are nowhere until they are suddenly everywhere. The exponential growth of blemishes causes an unavoidable feeling of disfigurement. She dreams of lepers. Men with flesh peeling off in flaps. Women with yellow skin and bloody lips. Eyes missing and noses bleeding. It is all blood and skin and sores and yellow and red and yellow and red and yellow and red. The lepers having shaking hands that reach for her and claw at her bare back. - A sequel to They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
