"Your blood tests came back positive," she responded. "You're pregnant. Isn't that what you came in for? A blood test to see if you were pregnant?" It was the exact opposite.

She was dying and I didn't want her to die alone so I held her in my hands and took her outside to the trees and sunshine. I looked at her, helplessly wishing I could ease her transition into whatever was beyond this place, looking for a clue or sign of something showing me what is beyond death.
