She Drove Me to Death, Then Avenged Me

Summary

I lay on the freezing operating table, hemorrhaging from my lower abdomen.

The doctor asked if there were any family members I wished to contact.

I dialed my mother's number.

"Mom... I had the baby..."

"I think I'm dying... Can you come be with me?"

"Liv, what the hell are you नाटकing now? Giving birth and you're already acting like you're at death's door? How come you weren't so scared when you were secretly getting those abortions before?"

"But..."

"Enough. If you're going to die, die quickly. It'll be a relief for everyone!"

Later, as she wished, I really did die.
