Today's OneWord: Knee

There was a dull pain in my knee, and when I rolled up the leg of my jeans, I stared at the spread of blood beneath the denim. It had not seeped through the fabric, but it was staining my skin in a web-like pattern, not seeming to be emerging from any scrape, gut, or gash. As I stared at the tattoo-like carnage on my patella, I began to feel a strange shivering sensation up and down my thigh. Suddenly, I could not walk. Suddenly, I could only kneel.
