Alexander Han Ms. Friedlander English 10 Honors‚ Pd.7 12 May 2011 Subway Station Standing in the subway station‚ people start to appreciate the place; almost to enjoy it.

The smell of flesh from both sides of the war together with the dust and smoke almost made him sick. He has never been more aware and cautious‚ cowering in fear at the sounds of machine guns. The thought of reuniting with his family is the only hope that gave him the strength to continue‚ allowing him to forget about the inclement taste

The impending storm breeze catches the scent of the raging battle‚ characterized by the odor of blood mixed with the fresh rain. Only one town over‚ the sky is clear; the only other indication of bloodshed being the rising plumes of smoke in the distance.

Nope. It is a drama free zone. When you sashay into the room you can smell love love as strong as garlic. Although‚ that could just be the smell of sweat.
