The Gift ....55 Fiction




The room is ready for baby Ashley’s arrival. Brightly decorated and completely adorned. Her cries in the delivery room announced her arrival. Anne eagerly looked for Dale and went ahead of the doctors to break the news of their baby’s arrival. She found him in the hospital chapel crying miserably and uncontrollably with her parents.

(This was my entry to Lena's 55 Fiction Contest at The Colors Magazine last month. I wanna see how you interpret the story. I cannot think of anything to post right now, hence I thought of this as a better alternative with permission of course from Lena, even immediately after the contest.)

  15. Ellow Mads...:)

    oh sure, the story is all about...:)

    Anne died giving birth to Ashley, she has to be sacrificed for the baby's sake, it was her soul that went ahead of the doctors to look for Dale, but of course he found him crying with much remorse, but that was the best decision because Anne had complications...

    sad, isn't it?

    of course, you can interpret the story is several ways which i can't see.

    Lena advised me to make a clearer conception, he he he...:) so as not to mislead readers or keep them guessing...:)
