The Child Was Born In Winter

The child was born in winter...! Her mother, so stone-hearted..! Wrapped him in plastic...! And squeezed, squeezed...! Just like this...! She wanted to drop him into apit toilet...! Of greeen flies / human excrement..! A dog barked..! How..? Rural hospital too far...! Birds mourned the death of a child..! Not even hunter could catch the devious woman...! She needed no help in delivering the baby..! Brave wicked woman..! So early in the morning..! The sun was shining..! Unashemed..! Mission accomplished..! No one saw he bulging tummy..! I only saw blood dripping from her legs..! As she prepared food in the kitchen..! A dog barked..! It carried a plastic bag..! In the mouth...! How..? My hair rose..! Spine shivered..! This morning..! The child was born in winter...!
