Rosemary\u2019s baby<\/p>\n\n\n\n
was born with grey skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and black, almond eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that didn\u2019t blink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hospital room fell into a hush as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the nurse laid him in her arms.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She held him to her breast
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
his skin cool<\/p>\n\n\n\n
his tiny heart beating strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She named him Abel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rosemary\u2019s baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He wasn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His arms grew long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He never had hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His eyes were unnerving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He still didn\u2019t blink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At night he would crawl into her bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She held his cool wiry body to hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He never did learn to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything he had to say<\/p>\n\n\n\n
he said through his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rosemary\u2019s baby, was not of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had the potential to one day reveal all the earth\u2019s secrets<\/p>\n\n\n\n
once he understood how to communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there was no chance this child would survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His difference made the people angry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
