He laughs.

She watches the ground

He silences

Slowly she moves her left hand from the bed

Curiosity itches at him

Inching closer, her pointer finger held out to him

"A Paper cut?" He leans in closer and sees it

A small sliver of skin broken

blood trailing down her finger

Her hand

Her wrist

To the puddle on the floor.

She only nods in responce.

"I have a disease." 

She starts her story she's told many times

"It makes my blood unable to clot.

So I bleed for hours, even for a paper cut."

She searches his eyes

for somthing along the lines of

Acceptance, 

but he shows only

Disbelief.

Surely she's joking.

Maybe she's just sarcastic

Or possibly a compulsive liar.

But when she keeps her eyes on the ground

His gut tells him differently.

"That's an interesting disease."

He looks at his broken arm

Feeling more pain from her,

Than from the medication wearing off.
