Day 8 Challenge

Word Challenge ::

Word: Spleen
Definitions:

An abdominal organ involved in the production and removal of blood cells in most vertebrates and forming part of the immune system.
Bad temper; spite: "he could vent his spleen on the institutions that had duped him".

ML Note: I first saw spleen as a synonym for hatred. This baffled me. Upon further research, I found the above reference to the word spleen.

I... I... spleen. SPLEEN.

Character Challenge:

Kill a major character in your book. They're dead, Jim! Bonus points if you reference their spleen in the death scene.

Angst. Lots and lots of angst. And spleens. Spleens of hatred, matched with the spoon of angst. Bonus points if a character is poked in the stomach with a spoon and s/he cries out, "my spleen!"

Plot Challenge:

Include a plot sequence in which a major or minor character develops a war cry of, "For spleen!"
