Notice the change in tone
Pace may be out of step
Heart rate increased
Eyes may blink rapidly
Short, quick breaths
Take note

The footprints in the snow
Cut so perfectly into the fine, crunchy white
Is that blood?
It definitely looks like it
Bend over
Take a closer look

Magnifying glass
Offering a bigger picture
It is blood
My mouth drops slightly
Exhalation creates clouds
In this kind of weather
