Clark Nova
A
REPORT
In
the
drying
weather
,
the
lining
of
his
nose
cracked
and
bled
like
the
rotten
septum
of
a
raving
coke
addict
.
The
dryness
meant
a
painful
pinching
sensation
every
time
he
went
to
clear
his
head
of
the
purulent
build
-up
that
had
been
manufacturing
itself
in
his
nose
and
throat
and
lungs
as
the
last
of
a
nasty
winter
cold
mutated
into
the
allergies
of
spring
.
it
would
bleed
again
,
but
it
was
better
to
bleed
than
to
choke
like
a
drowning
man
in
his
own
corrupted fluids.
