Short Prompt #485

Warning: gore, implied character death.

The civilian froze and slowly turned to look at them. There was dark red smeared across their face, clothing, and hands, a bit of it dripping down their chin.

With the close proximity between them, the hero easily identified the smell of blood drifting in the air. And before they could react, Civilian lunged.
