Long long ago, When I was in 10th standard, i accidentally stepped on a nail. That rusty nail went straight through my cheap slippers and right into my foot. Needless to say, it was an unpleasant experience. Somehow i managed to reach home and when i reached, mom took me straight to a doctor.
The doctor slowly pulled that rusty old nail out of my foot, and after pulling out the nail, he took a good look at the wound and decided i needed tetanus injection. He called a nurse and asked her to get a sterilized needle and the medicine.
Soon enough the nurse came with a cotton ball, dipped it in dettol and rubbed it on my arm. After a few strokes, the cotton ball turned black(i was notorious for not taking bath). The nurse threw the cotton ball and got a new one, dipped it in dettol and started rubbing it again. The second cotton ball went black soon, after a couple more cotton balls, the nurse realized my skin had an odd texture. She gently pinched my skin and pulled it. It was then, the nurse realized it was not my skin but a cloth!
She pulled the cloth and it turned out to be a very old shirt, a shirt i used to wear when i was a small kid and under the shirt was my pale white skin..
