Letters: Hands

A side effect of my hands chapping from the dryness is that I’ve lost my fingerprints. First my index fingers, then this morning my first two fingers. I am looking at my hands now and it appears my fingertips are abraded or almost pilled, and sure enough, the fingerprints have worn off. It’s not a concern, but something I wonder at. One of those differences I could have never anticipated, but here it is, a sign of Antarctica.
