Death, disease, and grief were all bundled within each molecule of the smog; it thoroughly choked the corners of the camp. Within this smog, however, was a faint smell. A very distinct smell – to me, at least – that could be sensed from thousands of miles away. It was so omnipresent to me that I could see it leave
