  1. The slash was long and deep and terribly crimson, and it occurred to him that his hands would do little to keep his fragile, fleeting life inside. He cupped at the wound desperately, fumbling with the torn clothes and the stinging flesh and the awful flood of regret and blood.

  2. The stink of stale urine, rising like a protest. Severe. Like the words you vomit sometimes, so poisonous your own entrails cannot hold them in… The lessons of love dry up like leaves under the cruel summer sun in my homeland.

  3. The burns were severe.

    The doctors knew that he didn’t have much of a chance. It had been a freak accident, after all. Nobody could have predicted that he wouldn’t have made the jump. It was something people did all the time–and though his parents blamed themselves for not watching him close enough, for letting him jump over to the next stand, not watching for the flames licking up beneath the ground–

    Well, there wasn’t much they could do now.

  4. Severe consequences. That is what I earn for not studying for this test. The anxiety makes my heart pound as I enter the gray cement room reminiscent of East Germany. Why must I be put through such torture? Oh, excuse the pun. I am a terrible person. I will probably have severe cons- oh no…

  7. Severe thunderstorms are my least favorite thing in the world..it’s like you’re whole world can be gone with a tornado or a lightning strike and there is nothing you can do to change mother nature. Severe illness can take you’re life or the ones you love in a tick of a clock and you just stand there and wait for the end.

  8. It’s a quick thud, and a moment’s notice to the ground as you protect yourself, shoes all over your body, hands roaming into your pockets. Words of panic from your sister as she watches as you feel your elbow, cradling your head, push back and forth with the rhythm of the feet propelling it forward as you reach to grab the ankle of the foot for a brief moment, your eyes connect. And you go back to cradling your head in time before the next foot lands, knowing you did all you could in that brief glance.

  9. Severe, like “that’s so severe. Serious, extreme, awful, terrible. Really bad. Severe. Like the opposite of “SWEET!”
