Eva opened her eyes.
For a brief moment she felt disorientated. Was she dead? She'd been sure of it. The burn of the bleach as it slid down her throat and the agony that accompanied it was too much to bear. Yet, the clinical smell of hospital somehow proved it wasn't the end. If there was such a thing as an afterlife, she was certain that it would smell as far from possible from a chemical concoction.

As if mirroring her thoughts, a nurse slipped quietly into the room. She flashed a wane smile at her. "We'd thought you'd had it girl," a crease appeared between her brows "but we managed to pump it all out." Eva watched it disappear "Although, you'll have to remain here for a few days. It burnt you up pretty badly inside and we fixed the damage as best as we could, but you'll need to rest to let it heal." With a few quick assessments of her bed and an assurance of food being provided soon if she healed well enough, she was gone, as quickly as she had came.

Eva bit her lip so hard it bled. Relaxing in the hospital for a few days was all fine and dandy, but what happened when she was released? With two dismissals with no reference and the emotional damage caused by her miscarriage, she had nearly no chance of finding a job. She would starve. Tears slid silently down her cheeks. She wished the bleach had done its job.
