Christ on a bike.I've read a lot about how PTS can be triggered by a smell (olfactory
sense being the most acute) but this is out of the park. The prospect
of that being someone's life, or end of it. Not something you can
exactly deal with through 'exposure therapy' either.
I just heard about an old lady down the way who was found dead in her
house, she could have been there for months. I go past that house most
days.
When my dad died it was weeks before they found him (he died 2 days
before Christmas). Clearing out his flat was abysmal. There were 20
or so empty cans of Tennent's Super next to his chair and a half
finished crossword on the table in front of him. He had a duodenal
ulcer which burst and he bled to death on the floor. The police must
have treated the mess but it was still harsh. It smelt like sherry.
