The scent of blood and gunpowder still clings to the night air as I shove the living room door open. The yellow glow from the table lamp cuts my silhouette as I sink into the black leather sofa, my arm pulsing with pain. From the kitchen, the clink of a teacup stops. My wife rolls her eyes at the sight of me, same as always. But when I lift my gaze and she sees the blood streaking down my arm, staining my shirt, my tone isn't a request—it's a command. 'Get me something for this.' Her silence says everything. She finally takes in the full, ugly length of the cut.
