She said that blood had a distinct smell,
an ominous odor that meant all other roads led to one,
but there was still an emptiness,
a new kind of hollowing of our consciousness that was pervading this place
we were unfamiliar with each other,
by choice,
they were unaccounted for,
by the very people they hated,
the very people who gave them the benefit of the doubt
but there was no benefit to this doubt,
none I could see,
none I could feel,
and maybe they were fish out of water,
and maybe we wanted to believe they had been schooled like all the others,
but there was only one certainty for these two,
that the Sun most definitely did not rise and set in the West
