The Rash

Johnny Norman was a boy that had been plagued by a series of horrible skin conditions as a child. As a baby he had a constant diaper rash that would not go away despite the many medicated creams that the doctors had given him. The result was extreme scarring on his bottom. And just as he had grown out of the rash and became a child he was tormented by evil rashes on his groin and inner thighs. His parents took him to dermatologists and they gave him anti-fungal creams and different types of cortisone. They worked for a bit but soon the rashes came back with even greater potency and itchiness. And by the time he was a young teen his groin and scrotal rashes also came with a awful smell that was similar to rotting meat. The smell was so bad that one could smell it through his clothes. Again he went back to the doctors but nothing seemed to help. The diagnosis was that the doctors hoped that he would grow out of it. But this never happened. 

​During his junior high years Johnny also developed horrible acne and he was harrassed incessantly by the kids around him. Every day someone came up with a new name for him. He was called everything from pizza face to zit head. The words hurt and cut him deeply. There was one boy in particular that would go out if his way on a daily basis to call him names. This boy's name was Biff Butts, who was a bully by nature. Johnny hated him and often thought of killing him, but deep down he could never do such a thing, so he thought about revenge in a black magic manner. 

Johnny called up a man on the phone that was a black magic expert from Ukraine and this man said that for 100 dollars he would would make life a living hell for Johnny's enemy. The Ukrainian mystic said they were not to meet and all he was to do was mail the money to him. The mystic also asked for information regarding the bully Biff Butts, specifically where he lived and when he would be alone. 

Johnny mailed in the 100 dollars and three days later when he saw Biff Butts from a distance he noticed that his skin was very red. As the days passed Johnny continued to monitor Biff's condition which seemed to be worsening by the day. The last time that Johnny saw Biff his skin had all sorts of blisters and various types of open wounds which smelled worse than moulding cheese. Days later Johnny heard through the grapevine that Biff was in the intensive care unit at the hospital and the doctors did not know what was wrong with him. His skin was apparently turning black from rotting. Two days later Biff died a most horrible death. A death so terrible that even the most powerful pain killers could not prevent him from dying in extreme misery.

Johnny was happy with the result and called up the Ukrainian mystic and said, "Thank you for what you have done. He's dead. What was the name of the curse you put in him."

The mystic responded, "I did not put a curse on him. I merely touched him and gave him something called the Chernobyl rash."
