Aliseh was sitting at her window with a heavy heart and
tears in her eyes. It seems the universe was reflecting her mood too. It was
dark and gloomy outside.

She looked at the picture in her hand and let out heavy
sobs. It was very hard losing her 10 day old baby to medical complications. Why
was life so unfair?
Just then, she heard the chimes from the baby mobile, and
the sun shone through the clouds. She looked outside the window and felt like
her baby was up there and is talking to her.
“Mommy, I will be back”

Wow! Powerful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bettina :-)
DeleteI love the idea that her baby is sending her a message. I think you might want to edit the last line: her baby was up there are is talking to her. A lovely sentiment though.

There's something rather disturbing in this. Maybe it's just my interpretation, but the mood, the clouds, the tragedy, and then the baby speaking. Sounds almost like a threat.

The universe can certainly be a mirror, when it comes to reflecting loss...
ReplyDeleteUniverse and the mind i think works in tandem at the time of loss

It's interesting to see how people respond to the prompt each week and mine was pretty much along the same theme as yours, except from a child who'd lost his mother. Those rays of light really did look like beams from heaven to me.

DeleteGrief is such a personal thing. I like that she can see beyond the dark clouds and find hope.
