Leaving You Bereft
It was a floor dedicated to only one room—a nursery.
In the confines of the clear incubator, a newborn lay quietly, with several tubes attached to his small frame, and gauze covered his belly where the umbilical cord had been. His limbs were thin and undeveloped, resembling those of a frail little frog. He was laboriously opening his eyes, and in the small slit that showed, his eyes were dark and round.
His vision didn't extend far, though. He lay in warmth, yet the comforting scent of his mother was nowhere present. His small arms flailed gently, searching blindly—yearning for his mother and seeking his younger sister.
