An unexpected gift

A gift, Mick thought.

She called turning him without consent a gift.

He and Coraline had a certain understanding,

they shared years and decades,

but he would never understand that.

She took his life, his family, present, past and future.

She took his choice to eat food, grow older, grow, dammit.

He wanted to grow, but was going in circles.

Nothing she gave him later could ever make up for that.

Then she tried to give him a child,

and again she was more than wrong.

But twenty two years later,

Beth was an unexpected gift that kept on giving.
