While visiting relatives, I was standing in the kitchen while the moms were frying chicken. Some flour fell on my back. My uncle walked by and said that it would eat a hole in my skin. I was unsure if it was true, but I spent the whole day in fear and secretly tried to find mirrors that would let me look at my back and see the hole being created. A few times I could swear I saw it. Later that day I was obviously sad. My mom asked what was wrong. I told her. She laugh and said he was kidding...but I was skeptical...maybe he know something that she didn't...
