Day 7: Bit In The Hand

Sorry I haven't been able to write for a few days. Earlier on the night of Day 4, a deathstalker scorpion bit my hand while I was sleeping. I woke up and wasn't able to go back to sleep. The Deathstalker scorpion, which you can probably tell from its name, is very dangerous. It causes severe pain, and maybe even death. However, on Day 6, I was lucky enough to stumble upon Citrullus Cologcynthis, or Alkhad. The Tuareg people used this fruits' special milky sap to cure stings from scorpions. I gathered as much as I could and I now feel good enough to write again.
