Subject: QOTD for Friday, July 27, 2012

The following quote is taken from The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 91, Domestic Management. Copyright© 2001 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

I had never done it, but felt as though I had, a thousand times. Dreamlike and sure, I ran a hand under the slobbering lips, felt warm breath blow down my sleeve. The great pulse throbbed in the angle of the jaw; I could see it in my mind, the big meaty heart and its pumping blood, warm in my hand, cold against my cheek where it pressed the sodden petticoat.

I drew the saw across the throat, cut hard, and felt in hands and forearms the tensile severing of skin and muscle, the grate of bone, the snap of tendon, and the slippery, rubbery, blood-spurting vessels, sliding away.
