This is a question Have you ever seen a dead body?

How did you feel?
Upset? Traumatised? Relieved? Like poking it with a stick?

Not a whole one
I've not seen a dead body, just a bit of one.

As kids we used to hang around the local woods, climbing trees, trashing our bikes trying to jump over logs etc. There was often something interesting to find that had been dumped in the woods, so we were quite used to finding plastic bags and opening them up to see if there was anything worth playing about with. Good, innocent fun, apart from this one big plastic bag we found near the old ruined tower that everyone said was haunted. One of us gave it a bit of a kick and it rolled to the side heavily and settled back to where it was, but not before letting out a rancid, rotting flesh smell. We timidly opened the bag, slowly peeling back the plastic, scared of what we were going to find. Our first glimpse seemed innocent enough - a brownish orange coloured bit of cloth, so more of the bag was pulled back, only to expose a pair of large, cold, lifeless eyes staring up at us from a head... of a giraffe!

What? Nowhere in the question does it mention "human"! It turned out to belong to the guy restoring the tower near by. He's a taxidermist.
