Teaser Tuesday, Operation Husky Edition

Today’s TTT is….books that inspire candle scents? I got nothing, so here’s some historical gore instead.

“Harris dashed forward only to have another mine shred his abdomen and legs; after flicking grenades into a line of pillboxes, he sprinkled sulfa powder onto his protruding intestines, cinched his web melt to keep the innards in, and wandered down to the beach to find a medic.” THE DAY OF BATTLE, Rick Atkinson

Boy, makes grumbling because of red-lights and poor-tasting coffee pale in comparison.

    What?!? You don’t enjoy the gentle wafting scent of intestine and effluvia? Those kind of candles sell like hot cakes 😉

    • Honestly, I would be tempted by black powder-scented candles. That was one of my favorite parts of attending Civil war reenactments when one was more local — black powder, horses, women in hoop skirts, and fiddle music!
