Ow!. getting squished again!.. Guess my "mother" is about to push out her new favorite son..
Wait am i even a son??...
Yes! i am!... wow i really am. For a moment i thought i was holding onto the umbilical cord there..
My son down there is a bit to big is it not?.. I'm just a baby...its hard to see though, can only see vague outline shapes, wait how can i even see this much. It should be completely dark inside a womb. At least I have gotten used to the constant loud sound I deduced was my mothers heartbeat.
Aargh! there's another squish. How long does a birth normally take?
I guess this is gonna take hours.
Hmm. I hope i wont die during birth.
Will someone do a cesarean?
Then it would not take that long i guess, are there even doctors present, I could be born anywhere in the world!!!
Aargh! Again that squishing! ("A+ for effort mother! But ow!") wait the umbilical cord just snapped?!...they are not supposed to snap are they?... it was actually more like it suddenly let go of the womb wall... that is weird...
Wait..Light?... Aargh its bright!! I am already out? Ow what was that!! I blacked out as something hard hit me!
I came too lying on something cold and rough. I curl up into a ball and begin to try and cough – each cough sending out a viscous liquid till I could feel air instead of liquid in my lungs.
After wiping my eyes i could see no lights but despite that i could still see clear shapes and sense that there was someone close to me, but I was not between legs as expected, or doctors hands holding me.. I must have been kicked accidentally?.. that explains the sudden pain I felt when I was pushed out I guess...
I managed to turn my head weakly.
Yep... that's a woman's body alright lying on the ground up against the rocky wall.. naked. bloody.. wow she is big compared to me... i cannot see her face only her lower parts... not a sight a son wants to see. But no one else is close by.. so no doctors
I hope she is alright.. she is not moving?...is my new mom already dead?.. please do not be dead.. i do not want to be alone.
I try to speak. but i only cough out liquid mass, making a raspy dreadful breathing noise finally, guess i cannot talk yet.
One of my mothers legs curls up, reacting from the noise I make, and then she moves her other leg. as she curls up into a ball on her side.
(Oh.. she is alive good phew.. why is no one here to help us during this time, where is "here" even, i better look around?)
I turn my head and look around. trying to lift my self up.. i notice my hands.. My nails.. they are black. My hands. I got 4 fingers only on either hand. What.. What am i?? everything is grayish black tones. I cannot make out colors.
I push off on the ground. try to sit up..i see my lower body. Wait! i got three legs?!.. oh wait no. two legs.... OK i just needed to bend my legs out.
That's a tad to large... how will i be able to walk with that between my legs. and my feet..also much larger than normal.. black nails too.. why is my body already so defined. Are babies not weak little balls of weakness?
also my umbilical cord is not attached to my stomach.. its actually gone.... what happened to it..
I turn my head to look from my slightly higher off the ground point that my resting on my elbows provide. My "mother" is still lying down in a ball.. i think she is crying??.
Wait.. there are more people here. I can make out the room i am in now.
The room i was in was a small cavernous room. only one door that was covered by something not made of rock. its messy and dirty in here.
I would say it smells horrible in here. But i am somehow able to not recoil or gag from it.. seemingly it does not activate my gag reflex.
but i can tell its very bad in here. All around the edge are women lying down not moving 5 of them. i can hear faint sounds of breathing from everyone. The one making the most noise is my mother who sobs quietly
I have to make sure she is ok. Also.. i am hungry.. i have in fact never been this hungry... but i just want to make sure she is ok for now. And also to make sure she knows i am alive.
I crawl slowly towards my mother. its amazing how mobile i am being this young...I am pretty sure babies are normally just rag-dolls the first bit of their life.. but i can move myself. If only slowly though..
I slowly make it past her legs to her knees. i lean against her knees trying to get up. to look past her arms she has curled around herself.
I instantly feel a hand grab me, that lifts me up fast, only to send me flying through the air!
I hit the wall hard..
all the wind has been knocked out of my lungs.
i am stunned.. i barely managed to look over to where i was earlier.
My mother is sitting up slightly. Her hand stretched out towards me.. Wait!! She was the one that threw me away!?!!...
("Why would you do that mother?!..")
She is completely disheveled. Her extremely long hair is a mess around her.
Her body would be amazing with fairly large breasts and good curves..
but it is much to thin, she looks like she has been starving for a while.
And she has several scars around on her body. Covered in filth and dry bloodstains.
Her eyes staring at me, its the only light in the room, those two eyes. They have been crying for a long time. Dark rims around them showing how worn out she is...
But wait.. Light.. yes.. there are literal lights in her eyes??.. Purple.. how can i tell her eyes are purple?. Everything else is grayish dark tones... i must be able to see in the dark, so must she, she looks straight at me, her face grimaced staring hate and death at me.
I am shocked, as my eyes widen, the state of her and the rejection and pain she inflicted on me.
The sudden realization I am still alone.. even in a brand new life..
I feel like crying.. I cannot cry.. Don't cry.. I know i am a baby now.. But … I do not want to cry..
I hang my head down. Closing my eyes. Giving a slight sob. But no tears fall from my eyes.
I hear a slight sudden change in her breath. It was raspy from her exertion of throwing me away and sitting up so she could focus her hate into me with her stare.
But now she was silent holding her breath.
I look back up, slowly opening my eyes, she is looking at me with a shocked look.
"Whui are cín hend ú- naru??" [Mother]
I blink, what did she say, i sit up and look at her as she stares at me her mouth opened in stunned silence.
I was about to try and speak again but then...
