The smoke and mustard gas clear around a picture. The background is the sky and the sea, with the shadows of planes and gulls darting across. A trail of old stone leads down and then up and then down again, which means it’s down, always down, through the old earthen ruins of something more than stone and less than sand. Everything’s red and grey and gold, gold where the plants are dead. There’s a crater where the grenade ricocheted to, where parts of the walls came down. There aren’t any soldiers here, not anymore, just. Just Italy and Greece. And it turns out that three of the new bullet holes are in Greece’s chest and belly, and the fourth is in his thigh. He’s still holding the gun and the pin from the grenade, a smear of silver in the blood that’s haloing him like in the really old art before perspective and composition, where people who are more important than everyone else are just painted larger and brighter. The blood dapples Greece’s skin like all his moles and scars and curls and beautiful things, and his eyes are open. And then Italy blinks back tears and the body itself is gone, leaving only the blood.

Uhhhhm I guess? OTL

And look at references, though I didn't base this off of them. More like for inspiration. (This landscape was supposed to be the Greek Labyrinth).

92% percent of the teen population would be dead if Abercrombie and Fitch said it wasn't cool to breathe anymore. Repost this if you are one of the 8% who would be laughing your head off.
