A Single Sigh


Eve hurriedly made her way to the car, forgetting to pause the video recording. Although dark in her purse, the streaming continued. The Vauxhall stuttered before starting.

Eve began to cry, and as though in sympathy, the clouds emptied their heavy rain straight at her windscreen. She pulled over into a grassy lane, to wait out the storm.

Although Eve had not lost a child herself, she had miscarried in the first trimester - and this most painful of memories stalked her otherwise happy life. She closed her eyes for a single sigh, and then gave way to the grief once again.

“Are you going to be blubbing there all day?” asked a curious voice from behind her.”

-Gabriel Brunsdon, Finding Self - Second Guesses- Azlander Series
