Hmm. Really well written piece. The ending, with the miscarriage and the inability to have a child to love her, went really well with the info you provided about the mother naming her after someone she hated and all. I really enjoyed this piece, and the pacing was great.

Not only thought-provoking, but the imagery and the techniques employed are absolutely enveloping.

This just made the list of my favorite pieces of yours.

What? Is she bleeding like, normally, as a female, or is she hurt?
