Blood

"The blood inside sparkled like dying fire."

The quote below the picture is from Blood by Zdravka Evtimova. The theme for Blood was, hope is infectious. The narrator helps a woman whose son is dying by giving her some of their blood, telling her it's the blood of a mole. A few months later she comes back and tries to play him, because her son is now ok. Later that same day a wealthy man comes in and takes a few drops of the narrator's blood for his sick wife, paying him and them leaving. The next day there are hundreds of people outside "everyone had a sick person at home and a knife in his hand (89 Evtimova)." They all wanted some of the narrator's blood, some hope for their sick loved one.
