The scent of death

 listen to the sounds
Look at the surroundings
Nothing to hear
Nothing to see...

But Feel it
the presence
Hanging over the area
like a raincloud in the sky

I smell it
the smell of death
the smell of murder
the scent of evil spirits

Unmistakable
stuck in my nostrils
Life has passed
But who and where

God only knows.
