1 Sacrificed for Others (1)

"Name: Xuanxu Yu Xin. Age: 5 days old. Time of Death: 10:45 pm. Reason of Death: Unknown. Scalpel."

Gently handling down the scalpel and making an incision in the left shoulder, then the right shoulder meeting at the midchest and finally running down the stomach. The wound was large yet little blood was produced.

A woman opens the door only to see a carcass and a doctor violating her newly born daughter. Fear and restlessness overcame her senses enforcing every bit of detail as she saw a beautiful young man cut a Y-shaped incision in her daughter's body. As if alive or is it her sanity that vanished, the carcass mouth moved.

"Mom, help me, please. It hurts." It said. Yet, Chen Ai never heard a word because she was there lying peacefully, both eyes closed. There she is, like a lump of piece meat being butchered by the monster in human's clothing.

"What are you doing to my daughter?!" Rushing madly, she aimed towards the scalpel and attempting to snatch it off the monster yet accidentally slicing a piece of her daughter's flesh.

Terrified, she let go.

"Baby, I'm so sorry! Mommy is sorry for hurting baby." Crouching down on the ground and gently caressing it into her embrace. Wailing like a mad ghost, begging for her daughter's mercy. The world constricted, waves of light swayed into an endless swirl of darkness. Her legs wobbled like wet noodles on the verge of collapse as her strength seeped away joining the endless swirl of light and darkness. Together it formed into a venomous shadow that wraps around her entirety like a phyton coiling around its prey with a sole mission to devour both mother and daughter into the unfathomable ocean of nullity.

"Mommy, you're late. I'm already dead."

"Help, a woman collapsed in the post-mortem room 7. It appeared to postpartum cardiomyopathy*." After making a call, the doctor hurriedly examing her pulse that appeared to tachycardic*. Position his hand in the chest, he began cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)*.
