Puce

Puce is the color of my skin after the bruising. It was brutal. Final. Undeniable. And lustful.

Bugs like that have to meet their death between the grip of hard nails. Squished, squashed and very dead. No love lost and good riddance.

Puce is a color that is defined as ranging from reddish-brown to purplish-brown, with the latter being the more widely-accepted definition.... (Wikipedia)

Puce is a shade of red. Not far from the vermilion stain on my thumbs after the blood bath.
