Rosemary's Baby
Rosemary's body shrinks
And looks strange, her facial expression
Changes, village doctor checks her ventrally
And declares she is a non-human.
The fact of the matter is that
She is pregnant with six-month old
Living fetus.
And the villagers expect a demon-snake
Would come out of her body
Proclaiming death.
So, they kill her as per rituals
prescribed for the occasion.
And amnesty for them is granted
By the King
For he knows the truth.
