"Kaahin realized there were body parts floating alongside the debris. Limp and half-eaten hunks that floated face down on relaxed swells. The sole survivor chanted nonsense from the center of their boat. One of this man’s legs was missing beneath the knee. The gushing appendage blasted their ankles with a flood of crimson." 22 minutes ago

Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
