Red. Crimson. A flood of
Fluid from a ripped seam.
Gushing and gurgling.
Pouring from the tiny tear
in the seamstresses' masterpiece,
flowing slowly, ever constant,
but unnoticeable in the larger
view. Time later the masterpiece
shudders, violently, utterly drained.
The corpse falls solidly
towards the floor.

I was asked to write about the color red, and this popped into my head. If you've ever built something marvelous, and had it die, this is for you.
