Where Love Sank
“And you, get out of here, unless you want me to wipe this whole village off the map.”
The men scattered, too afraid to even look back.
My last bit of hope vanished, like someone had crushed my heart in their fist. Inside me, I could feel my baby kicking, like they were struggling too.
“I’m sorry, baby. I’m so, so sorry…”
I felt myself growing numb—inside and out. I didn’t know what else to do.
The stench was so unbearable and putrid that it made me retch again and again. However, if I kept throwing up like that, I’d die of thirst or suffocate.
