(now I'm having fun making things out of the blood spatter shapes... kind of like watching puffy clouds. (There's a little dinosaur looking thing on the bottom in the middle, and the big blob on the right looks like a little girl with a lollipop standing on a seesaw facing the sword blade... I'm not sure what's up with her ponytail, but that's the best I can do... she's also holding a weasel looking thing by the tail) this could go on forever, you know, if I came back to edit every time I see something.
living and dying.... the title of your picture, being short and blunt, and the apparent quick death, just hit me as simplistic (it's just how I interpreted it at the moment, maybe this person in your picture actually went through torture for years and then somebody cut them slowly with that dagger and covered them with honey and then staked them out in an ant bed in the desert, what the hell do I know? :)
