Pen in my pocket

What's that spot on your pants?

Its a 3 cm diameter spot of dried blood, dotted onto the surface of the right knee.

Where did it come from?

Oh NO!! What happened to your hand?

The hand is caked in dried and gelatinous blood -- a 1 cm superficial laceration continuing to ooze.

"I had a pen in my pocket", he said.

The parchment skin of the frail old man could't withstand the friction of the pants pocket, along with the unexpected sharp point of the pen, piercing the skin.

"it bled a lot", he said.
