"Only Child"

She didn't hesitate dropping her 5 year old son off that bridge into the unforgiving rocks some 80 feet below.

She was perfect, and so was her husband. Having an ugly son was unacceptable.

Her husband was devastated, while she did a lot of faking.

A year passed, and she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. He was once again, satisfied. And at last, she was too.

Some five years later she had a walk with her daughter on that familiar bridge. Midway through, her daughter hugged her very tightly. "What's wrong, sweetie?" She asked. Her daughter replied with a whimper "I'm scared, I'm scared, I love you mummy, I've always loved you."

"I love you too, sweetheart, but what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll drop me off the bridge again."
