People stink

Of money. Blood, clean sweat. Drying ink and expensive powder that covers all natural scent, all the time. Metal.

Of sex. Dank, dark caves. Carefully hidden smells that dart through unnoticed if the moment's hot enough, distract and linger if it's not. Salt.

Of fear. Stale bread, faded fresh air. Cheap booze, and cheaper smoke. Tears.

In general.

This piece doesn’t stink.

People do smell of metal, don’t they? It must be the iron in their souls.
