I wonder how my life would be if I decided to take abortion pills.
Would your father and I still be together, or would we separate?
I know my in-laws would call me the most heartless girl ever.
If I didn’t have you, my priority would just be school and bills.
If I decided to abort you, I would, without doubt, receive hate
from people who think are superior to me, but I would never
allow them to insult me. I would respond quickly and say
at least I don’t want to use a child to take care of me forever.
At least I prefer a genuine mother-daughter love, not something fake.
If I never had you, your father and I would argue; maybe he would stay
by my side, or maybe he would move on with someone else forever.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
