Through Thick and Thin

« Finally my blood began to coagulate » (imagine that!) New contest’s bloody theme by fellow Matt! My instant fear that by the wicked fate I would sure bleed to death right off the bat. Once the quirky contest concept set in: I got cold feet rising from blood loss trance, Due to the side effects of aspirin, There was no way I stood a second chance. For the thicker denouement of a plot I was thoughtfully placed in ICU, Patiently waiting for my blood to clot, Transfused with a good stranger’s kind, brand new. Now you know how my bloody tall tale goes - I made it live and on the other side - From then on I’m obsessed with my blood flows And damn me, curse me, cuss me if I lied. Though in denial of any common sense, I deem Judge Matt the master of suspense!

Fantastic job placing 11 out of 31 entries! The quirkiness of mentioning the judge of the contest multiple times gave you automatic placement into the contest, I feel. I love the meta-approach!
