Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: A Miscarriage
Extremely loud, my wife's cries and screams awaken me at midnight. Her hands and gown are
bloody. She resists my touch. "Don't touch me. Leave me alone" she snaps at me. By tone of
her voice, I realize she has experienced a miscarriage. She pushes me away instead of confiding
in me. Time, distance, and silence mend our broken hearts.
Time Period: The Present Reality
She fell off cloud nine because she had lost her sunshine. She wasn't completely fine until she
felt the stirrings of life again. The bloody rain and pain came and then went away like a bad
memory.
