A STUMBLE IN THE DEAD MARSHES

Sam felt his hands sinking into the filthy, stinking ooze
nearly to his elbows, he gagged at the stench.
He blinked his stinging eyes and then stared:
like looking down through a dirty window,
faces-- ghastly, gruesome, green and grinning,
Dead! All of them dead!
And one of them
had looked like
his dear
Master.
