The boy nobody loved - Chapter 3


 It’s a boy   

Soon things took a turn for the worse. 

One day there was a lot of commotion.  Screams, loud noises, pressure around his body. 

At first his head was being squeezed.  He could feel the same was happening to the rest of his body, but light hit his eyes.  Wow.  He couldn’t make up what was happening.  Light.  Silhouettes.  He was trying to make up what was happening as he felt being dangled by a foot when something hit him. 

As he whimpered in pain, he noticed the sound of his cries.  Now he knew what some of those sound he heard when in the womb were.

There were loud screams, he felt being shoved from one place to another as he was being passed around the nurses, doctors, and eventually his “mother”.

He couldn’t understand what those sounds meant, but he later discovered that she had a name for him: Angel.

As all this was going on, he was handed something.  He felt he should suck on it.  It was what came naturally.  And it was the right thing to do.  A warm liquid filled his mouth and slowly descended inside of him. 

He wasn’t sure what was happening, but he had just been born.  He really didn’t care much about what is what.  It tasted good.  It felt good.  That was good enough.

For a while there was peace and quiet.  Lots of people came by his cot in a big room full of other things.  They would pick him up.  Pass him around.  Give him the thing to suckle with the warm tasty liquid.  He was happy.

He was a little uncertain about these figures doing all this stuff though.  Ghostly figures that made strange noises.  Hum …
