I know their footprints.
The first time I saw them starkly outlined in blood I started to understand.
I swipe my mop through one. That would be Jackson's, worn down in front.
Another right next to his is worn at the heel. Only one and a scuff.
In my mind's eye I see Jackson half-carrying O'Neill to the gurney.
The worn-heeled print disappears at the gurney's bloody tracks.
Teal'c's are easy. I heard he carried Carter home.
The prints blend under my mop until there's just a reddish stain on the gateroom floor.
Amazing what you can learn from footprints.
