a mosquito bite
a flea bite
a spider bite
a rat bite
a skunk bite
a wolf bite
a lion bite
a tiger bite
a shark bite
a needle stab
a knife cut
a sword gash
a spear wound
a bullet hole
a grenade blast
a mortar round
a tank shell
a shoulder launched RPG
a jet firing explosive rounds
confounded war markets
a HIMARS missile
seeking far off targets
an atomic bomb
then were gone
