Chapter Three: Blood

-z-

It happened more often than you wanted to think about.

But, right now, as you look at yourself in the mirror, you hate that the sight before you is nothing new.

Blood on your shirt.

Blood on your hands.

Blood from the man you couldn't save.

Blood from the woman who should've been able to able to have that baby had her husband kept his hands to himself.

Blood from the teenager whose parents should've had a better lock on the liquor cabinet.

Yeah, coming home with blood on your shirt happens more often than you care to think about.
