We all expected to see puss once the knife sliced the skin on my arm. The lump was hot, and seemed to grow larger even as we looked at it.

Jenny pushed the knife into my flesh and around me I heard the gasps, and rustle of clothes as they looked away. I did not feel pain as the blade cut me: the only relief as pressure within the arm was released.

"Oh god, that stinks," I heard Mikey say, behind me. I could hear him retching into the rubbish bin in the corner of the room.

As I watched the green puss ooze out, something else caught my eye. There was something metallic moving within it. Somethings, in fact. Hundreds of tiny little bots, poured out of the wound, walking, running or swimming out I could not be sure...

Whilst I stuck to the time limit, I have to admit to a bit of editing on this one! As well as spacing things out, and the addition of italics, I did remove a couple of duplicate and redundant words

EDIT: the photo is a picture I took of a burst pipe. I messed about with it to make it look weird (sorry if that got a bit technical!)
