Clasping the young child's body to her, the woman wept.
The child was cold and lifeless.
Dead. Lost, irrevocably.
She sobbed for this life that could never be recovered. No price seemed
too steep if it could mean the little one's return. Her baby was irreplaceable
to her.
But it wouldn't work. She knew that. Time couldn't rewind.
That knowledge was of little comfort and did not give her reason to wish
otherwise.
"Someone, please… Save my baby…"
Her wails echoed through the world.
No one answered her plea. No one was there.
Her quavering, interminable sobs only filled up her little corner of the
world.
