Blood

Hey Evadne,

Nice crisp image!. I like the way this reads!. One minor suggestion:

Unless this is a form that requires a certain syllable count per line, you may want to drop "for" down to the last line!. Breaking on for takes away some of the drama from the final line!. I think doing the break on paid may have more punch!.

Whatever you choose to do, these are some nice lines!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
