Time Period: A Flashback
Rachel's p.o.v
Human
I suggested we visit the Zoo and Jake followed through with my request. Cassie and Tobias were
happy to join us. Jake and I were drawn to a pair of giraffes at the zoo. Like us, they were expecting
a baby. Our two worlds merged together.
Giraffe
Jake and I are placed into two different pens. I am heavily pregnant and in active labor. I collapse
with the calf's hooves still coming out. I struggle to stand back up. Carefully and yet aggressively,
my caretakers deliver the rest of the calf.
Time Period: The Present Reality-April's birthday
Rachel's p.o.v
One unforgettable sacrifice and birthday
An almost death sentence
Sacred first last breath of life
Inner strength
Signs of hope and faith
