FridayFiction - Brasso And Death - From the Vault 2013

I wrote the follow short fiction inspired by a jokey comment by a friend while she was making a Xena: Warrior Princess costuem.

It is really rather dark and there's a Content Warning for depictions of violence and death. It's darker than I expected, so be aware.

Also, I wrote it in 2013 when the scenario seemed mostly unlikely. Today... maybe less so.

In the moment, all I know is the smell of Brasso and Death.
