inside an undying flame

"You see the blood dripping from her neck, you can smell this metallic, obnoxious scent. It irritates your nostrils, makes you feel sick. And you still see her face, her eyes full of fear." Then you are close to them, they fall silent. You know something is happening between them. They must have a secret, a secret they are trying to keep from you. Inspired by Jolene, Dolly Parton
