Fingertip

Alright, so the other two munchkins I mentioned that lived on this young boy's fingertip had even more incredible powers.
Porina Torch began using hers straight out of the womb so her name is a direct result of the show she put on in the hospital. Believe it or not, she actually came out her mother holding a torch. While resting in her mother's belly, over those nine months of creation, she was busy gathering stray atoms amongst the embryonic fluid and fusing them to make a torch. She, unlike most babies, knew before entering the world just how dangerous it can be, and she was getting prepared.
When they finally pulled her full body out and turned her over, she revealed her creation. She held it out at full arm's length, the slimy fluids stretching with it. The doctors were horrified at first, thinking it was an appendage gone terribly wrong. When they came to find out it was not attached to her body they thought it could be a deformed fifth twin. They were relieved to see that too was false. It had no face, no torso, arms, eyes, or pulse. They looked closer and realized it was a torch. Porina Torch knew what to do. She decided to let them see just how genius she was and spat on the top of the torch. It went up in flame and as the doctor and nurses backed up they watched from a short distance as all of the fluids that came with her were instantly dried up. She sat up and looked at them all---they thought in unison, "What an unusual baby."

Sky-a-melton who had just come previous to Porina Torch was in one of the nurses arms as all of this happened. She was watching, and was astonished. She wouldn't develop her powers until later in life, after a ginormous giant stepped on her leg as she lied on the long summer grasses contemplating the clouds. She spent nearly a month away as the tiny healing creatures mended her. But it turned out they reattached her veins, muscles, and bones slightly wrong. They followed the wrong instructions on their tiny healing book of mending instructions, accidentally following the directions from the special, secret chapter. The trouble was, the tiny creatures recently had a mutual friend who got married, they all went to party and were all hungover when they were first confronted with sky-a-melton's problem. It was that day they chose the page they would follow for this mending project.
There is a lot I could tell you about that tiny creature party, but I won't go into it, because that really has nothing to do with sky-a-melton's predicament, so back to her...



Sorry, intermission.
I'll need to continue this later. I need to make an emergency grocery store run.
