Word of the Day - Plague

The black and blue marks on my legs make me look like a victim. Like I've been sick, like no one could cure me. They make me look like I'm dying, bleeding out from the inside. They make me look ill.
Plague victim, people say.
I look at them and laugh.
Victim? Maybe.
But plague?
No.
It's love, got me looking this way.
