Assignment 10 - Peter Marino

Foot cramps. I know it sounds silly but I am terrified of having foot cramps. It’s a genetic thing I inherited from my mom. For some reason randomly, every other day or so, I will experience the worst pain imaginable. For ten minutes I am completely immobilized until I eat a banana. Maybe the potassium helps or something, but if I don’t eat a banana every day I will cramp up. I don’t really think I can describe the pain. It’s like my bones are bending and are trying to get as far away from each other as possible. I know that doesn’t make any sense but that’s how it feels to me. I’m not really afraid of anything, but just thinking about getting foot cramps gives me the chills. It can happen at any time which is the worst part about it. I could just be chillin there, ya know, eating my Brussels sprouts, and then I’m just on the floor screaming in pain. It’s just not a good time.
