Blood - Fiftywords Challenge
It wasn’t the scene that struck me—gruesome and gory as any fictionalized version of reality—nor was it the shock of death, dismemberment, the unlikely, unnatural shapes of bodies, limbs.
All this I could have imagined myself—could have forgotten, too.
But the smell. That, I could not forget.
Thank you, @miniature-tiger for organizing this challenge! I've really enjoyed reading all of these stories and writing my own :)

Patrick Stewart gifs are my favorite :)
Another great scene Dina! I like your way with words.
Thank you so much!! :)
This was great. I really felt like the first lines were all building up to this scene of carnage (which I was uncomfortable with). By the time I got to the line, "all this I could have imagined myself" I was sickened by the thought of so much gore. BLood and death make me squeamish.
Then the turn, the shock, the moment it sinks in as real and horrifying; "the smell."
Awesome. I have this itch in my spine, down my back to my tailbone like a worm trying to escape that is my discomfort from the grossness this image provoked.
Well done; thank you? Such great imagery that i'm completely grossed out by the scene in my head that you created.
Haha! I'm glad you...enjoyed it? ;) I love reading your comments, by the way. Thanks for always giving such awesome feedback!
