It is nice to see you share more of your early works. :c)
They are a joy to read and the backstory that you give them helps to provide context - an overall enhancement.
The concept of smiling daggers and sniffing blood over others' shoulders is particularly interesting and leaves just enough to the imagination while clearly illustrating the hostility of a World where looking out for each others' backs can take many forms.
Thanks again!
