Weekend Writing Prompt #276 –
BANDAGE in 61 WORDS
She never felt a thing
not the first twinge
not the sharp impale
of debilitating pain
That came later
Upon her chest
a tight white bandage
wound tautly to staunch
or assist in her life’s
blood seeping from her
His back to her he walked away
Red splotches forming
upon the stark white cloth
widening with each
of his retreating steps
Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words 
What a harrowing scene you’ve described. Excellent.
