Shiver

I shivered, I was terrified. Even as I led Captain Boutella to where we had found the corpses. a dozen dozen of them, at least, stacked like cordwood. The stench was overpowering. Recce-Warrant Taylor was there, impassive, I didn't know how he kept such a perfect composure, perhaps he did have his sense of smell removed, like the jokes went.
I found out later, it wasn't regular shivers. I was admitted to the tent that counted as the regimental hospital, so was Warrant Taylor. Then everyone there was sent to Urdesh's Premier Medical Complex, Saint-Urdim's Mercy Hospital. None of us died, but it was a close one, and a story for another day.
