that last line is such a powerful simile... and the simile about his voice is awesome also.. great piece

Yow. That's quite some . . . graphic imagery. I like it, though. That last line is quite striking and leaves the reader taken aback. Nice. I also like the idea that someone's voice could SOUND like crusted over blood. Very intriguing. Love it. Keep writing! :)

The whole thing is awesome. I didn't expect the last line and the mental image scared me a bit. Haha. Good job.
