Dead Tracks 19

version x2

GIFT

I can smell death from people; the stronger the smell, the closer their death.

EXITDeath

One day I leave my home to visit town.

DETECTION

Almost immediately, I catch the smell. That cloying stink of impending mortality, only it is not from anyone; it is from everyone. Everyone around me as I pass them reeks of close and inescapable death. No one escapes.

SEEK

Everyone’s calm. There’s no threat in the air. No one is afraid. No one knows. Wait for that scream.
