We didn't need those flashy threads, boring yarns, drug-dealing hemps, slippery fishing lines, or disgusting laces. No, sir, our cordage was God-fearing.

Yellow.<br /><br />Sorry, but, going by the face, I'm calling "man" on the dame. Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot comes to mind.<br /><br />I like how the blood is running off her hand in a flow. What did she do, play in it? "Looks like blood. Smells like blood..."<br /><br />So, like, a guy who just so happened to rise from his grave just so happened upon a conversation about people rising from their graves?
