A screenshot of a piece of writing from my debut fantasy novel that reads, “Fear had many different scents. There were the fleeting aromas of the humans from Bledlam as they escape to Rhendgard. It smelled like hope and stretched disbelief, and if they passed close enough to spot Vesta half-naked and bloodthirsty, the scent shaped itself into something similar. Then, there’s the stale fragrance of those who came to these woods and did not leave. It smelled like lives cut too short and sick amalgamation of old money and blood. It’s woven into the roots of the alder trees, painted on the bark of their trunks. Within the streaked notes of pure terror, nearly snuffed out by the malodorous cloud of pleasure from these woods usual predators, lived a fresh spoor of distress. It smelled like sweat, sharp pain, and piss.” This excerpt is a part of the WIPsnips writing prompt, where you search in whatever pieces your writing for the daily given word and share it!
