fetid stench in his wounds; she grimaced. from the back of his neck almost to the middle of his spine he had been flayed, muscle slashed and flesh bruised. his wounds had swollen and bloated; she commanded aloe and water be brought, cleaning each square of naked red meat as he grunted in unconscious pain.
