Strange Current

Sensations thrive around my spine. Erratic electricity believes itself a guest of mine. More and more habitually it pulses rays to pester me. Strange current underneath my skin is sometimes idle. Thankfully! How did I ever let it in? Written by Andrea Dietrich for Nette Onclaud's HUTAIN THIS ONE... Poetry Contest

Sorry to hear you didn't know your grandparents well, Andrea. I had two sets from which to choose. You will find your inspiration. Maybe your mother or another family member could help you learn more about them. Love, Carolyn

it definitely sounds strange. is it just annoying or painful too? could it be related to your other injury or medication? hopefully if it's just stress, it will clear up soon. this is a good one for the contest. I especially like the question at the end :)
