It was the smell that told Leon the abandoned warehouse was a crime scene - that and the buzzing flies.

Pistol drawn and eyes scanning the shadows, he knelt by the body, felt his stomach lurch. The victim, female, naked save for a few scraps of burlap binding her hands and feet, appeared to have been… eaten…

“Christ,” he groaned, “she’s just a kid.”

Leon called for backup and, as the summer sun sank behind the horizon, sat with the body in the encroaching dark. It was the only thing he could do for her now.

But it wasn’t enough.

Scary! But I like your imagery very much - one can almost smell that sickeningly sweet odor of decaying flesh.
