A Piece of My Flesh

Summary

I accidentally crushed my sister's baby.

Flattened it right into the floor.

They say a child is a piece of a mother's own flesh. To make it up to her, I carved a chunk of meat from my own stomach and gave it to my sister.

Less than a week later, the meat suddenly came alive. It grew eyes, a nose, and opened its mouth to call me "Mama."
