Ghost Scars
Noun
The feeling of having being cut or otherwise injured were it would end up bleeding but there is no wound

He could feel it. He could feel blades cutting into his skin, like a sculptor carving a piece of art. 

He could hear it. He could hear blood dripping down from the wounds, first starting off as a few droplets and then increasing into a trickle and then a constant stream.

He could smell it. The metallic tang of iron would never leave the room no matter how hard the floors and walls were scrubbed.

But he couldn't see it. Donald Na was in a completely different room. He no longer lived in that apartment where he and his mother had suffered. Yet, the memories still haunted him. The nightmares were extremely vivid.
