My dad’s death broke me completely. Even now, three years later, I haven’t healed. When I go home, I still expect to see him. Sometimes I hear his voice even when no one’s around. He was only sixty-two when he died. People say time heals, but in my case, time just keeps reminding me of the pain. That pain has started affecting my marriage. Just a while ago, I argued with my husband. And honestly, sometimes I wish my dad hadn’t died, because my husband’s behavior since then has made everything worse. It’s just me and my younger brother now.…

A soldier rushed into the hospital, carrying another young soldier who was wearing a uniform and had an unusually large, round belly. He shouted for help. Doctors and nurses ran over, shocked by what they saw: a male soldier in serious pain, with a stomach that looked just like a pregnant woman’s about to give birth. Dr. Philip, who had delivered many babies before, heard the noise and ran down the hall. The cries of pain were loud. When he got there, he saw the young man—Christian—barely able to stand, sweating and holding his swollen stomach. Christian’s friend Fabian quickly…

The sun was setting over the small town of Milfield, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The gas station at the edge of town was quiet, as it usually was at this time of day. A few cars passed by, but most people were already home, settling in for the evening. Inside the station, Mark—the tired but friendly clerk—leaned against the counter, scrolling through his phone.
