An angel came to me that night.

At night while I tossed and turned,

My son slumbered beneath my heart.


I had a nasty feeling,

Worse that the worse nausea.


I was 7 and a half moths pregnant and the morning sickness had stopped months ago, I was scared. It was early dawn, I was alone.


He had gone out... to work...


I ran into the bath, heaved up my dinner from the night previous.


There was a bang on the door.


"Coming!" I gasped, between coughs. Something bad was coming it was if death had come to my door.


It was death... Dressed in a detective's skin, with a letter in hand.


"I was told to give this to you..."

Death came to me that day.

With out weapon on destruction and with out cloak of night.


With a fake mask smile and a black suit.

I found that day, my husband had died.

the letter I was given was his letter to me.

It was more of a short story... Our life together... in a short story, not seeming to be long enough for us... starting with a day on a beach..
