Gipsy Blood 7
Blood
continued

Nearly home she discovered that the snow behind her was red with blood.
Her left arm also. She got herself to the neighbour house and up the stairs. She rang the bell then her memory faded away...

The man next to her in the train is now smiling. "Do you like red?"
She returns the smile and goes back in memory. Starts a new drawing still using the red pen.
"Yes I do"
She is drawing a bigger arm.Kind of a uniform.Blood is streaming out of the sleeve.
Her mothers voice: "We always made sure there were knives for him when he came.
Also gave him food."

Now it is the lady in the shop :
She remembers the situation now. Standing between smelly wintercoats. Hearing voices
from grown up people above her:
"All them dogs" she hears.
"He cut both wrists"
"All that blood."
"Who is cleaning up? What about the dogs?"

(I am wondering here. Should I use past tense when it is flash back and present tense when now???)Help me please.!!!
