THE PRICELESS GIFT

sounds of gunshots could be heard from a distance. a pregnant woman who had just been shot laid on the floor bleeding with her doctor close to her, apparently she was seriously injured. she turned to look at her doctor and held his hand, pls save my baby, let him live. the doctor nodded and began cutting her belle to bring out the baby as the sounds of the gunshots drew near. he finally got the baby out and tried to sew the woman back up as much as he could with the needle and thread he always carried in his pocket. the gunshot sound was already close. she held his hands limply and commanded him to go. he nodded, turned round with the baby he had already wrapped in his coat and ran fast like his whole life depended on it and for once the baby didn't make a sound like he knew it was not the right time to cry. the men with the guns got near to the half dead woman and took her with them. immediately they got to a relatively safe place, the baby let out a sharp cry into the eerie silence of the night like a wounded animal.
