A Blood Parcel
"B-blo… blood…"
The generals words were barely audible they came out all shaky and weak. Then this really weird silence fell over the whole camp. Everyone just stopped what they were doing like they were frozen in place. Some of the men swallowed hard you could see their throats moving. Every single person was staring at the parcel that was sitting in the middle of the command square.
The wrapping was all saggy and wet. A thick and dark red liquid was coming out of it slowly. It was, like a thread that moved down the staff that was tied up inside. The liquid fell to the ground. Made a big stain that got wider and wider. The air smelled bad because of that metallic smell. This smell is the kind that stays in the back of your tongue and does not go away. The smell of the red liquid was very strong and it made the air feel weird. The staff was still wrapped up. You could see the liquid coming out of it.
