The Conquered Fear By Libby
Putrid smells tickle my nose. I cringe as I conceal my nose from the disgusting smell. There is was. Lying on the tray waiting for it’s surgery. The large knife gave my skin a fright making goosebumps crawl up my back, as shivers creep down my spine.
The razor-sharp knife sunk slowly into the deer’s liver. Blood leisurely oozed out, the blood was a rich dark red velvet blanket covering the tray. A small deer brain caught my eye, it was fascinating looking at what I knew was inside of me!
The wind pipe extending out of the heart was a rattlesnake's rattle at the end of the squiggly line-like animal. The knife was inserted. There was a crackling type sound as the knife slits through the windpipe.
There was crusted blood sprawled across the tray even before I used it! The tray smelt absolutely fetid. It was there… a cow’s heart lying in front of me. The latex gloves were handed out, I didn’t want to dissect, but I was lucky there was a spare glove handed out with the rest of my group’s gloves. There I was conquering my one of my fears. I with a sharp scalpel cutting away at the massive heart💖!
This wasn't a heart, but it was one of the most interesting parts of the cow's body!
