Second Chance
Here
"Don't give up."
"Don't let the darkness take you."
"She needs you."
"Go."
She is here again. Or rather, I am there.
Her stomach, it is a protruding mass before her.
There is a child inside of her.
Today she will give birth.
She does not know yet, but somehow I know.
It is too soon for her to have the child. It is not due for another month.
She. She is not due for another month. It is a girl.
Ellen's tired eyes widen as she feels the water trickling between her legs.
It is time.
A hole within me opens up. It begins to suck me away.
No.
No, I can't go. No.
She needs me. Ellen needs me.
I just know. She needs me.
But I am gone.
