Quote by Claire Kohda

“That evening, I'd finished mine and Mum's last bucket of pig blood from the butcher's, slightly warmed and from a wineglass to create a sense of ceremony; the other remaining bucket had been poured carefully into flasks and stashed in Mum's fridge at Crimson Orchard, along with some human food---cheese, microwavable meals, milk, sausage rolls, vegetables---that was there to act as a decoy.”

“I suck the blood out of Ben's towel for what feels like hours. I lie down on the floor, the towel hanging from my mouth and spread out across my chest. I'm in bliss. I can't really describe how it feels to have another person's blood in your veins, feeding to your heart, even just a little bit: a human's blood, not a pig's, two legs, upright and elegant, hints of something---of foods and memories and experiences, of birth, of being ill and getting better, of love and grief and fear---in its flavor. I feel huge; I feel like, if I were to stand up and run toward my studio wall, I'd just break through it. Like I could trample on cars and people outside, whole families under one foot, roaring until shop windows shatter. The sun would be drawn to me and would be consumed by my hair, which would grow and grow and then spread across the sky and turn day into night. The ground would quake around me; little moles that had been sleeping would emerge from their holes, and rabbits from their burrows, and I'd pluck them out of the ground like bean shoots and swallow them whole.”

“After the dusk of the passage, the evening sunshine that was pouring into the room made my eyes blink. I took a step or two across the floor and then stopped dead. For a moment I could hardly take in the meaning of the scene before me. Colonel Protheroe was lying sprawled across my writing table in a horrible unnatural position. There was a pool of some dark fluid on the desk by his head, and it was slowly dripping on to the floor with a horrible drip, drip, drip. I pulled myself together and went across to him. His skin was cold to the touch. The hand that I raised fell back lifeless. The man was dead — shot through the head.”

“What do electromagnetic field exposures do to the human? They thicken the blood and make it sticky. Sticky blood cells are called “Rouleaux”. It seems that sticky blood eventually produces micro clots within the human that can be felt when they walk into an electromagnetic field that causes Rouleaux. There does seem to be a delay between being exposed to Rouleaux blood and feeling the effects, and that can be hours long.”

“Rouleaux blood cells do not carry oxygen as effectively as normal free flowing blood cells. The micro clots that form within the body restrict blood flow and cause localized hypoxia to occur within the body through reduced blood flow to that area. The adverse effects from Hypoxia are not instantaneous, but can take hours before the person is aware of feeling sickly.”

“I look at the selection behind the glass. There are a few pasties and pastries, things like Scotch eggs and potato salad, as well as sliced meat and wrapped cuts. "Can I have a Scotch egg and..." The man's hand reaches for the Scotch egg at the top of the pile and wraps it in thin plastic, then places it on the counter. "...a cheese and... bacon pastry thing..." I point, and he gets a small paper bag from behind him and uses tongs to pick the pastry up. "And one of those sausages, maybe a couple of those smaller sausages too, some potato salad---and yeah... um... do you have, like, some pig blood?”
