CREATIVE WRITING PROMPTS : "THE PREGNANCY TALK" :

HE MENTIONED THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT, AT WORK, BEFORE SHE EVEN KNEW IT.

HE CAME INTO WORK, ECSTATIC, BECAUSE HIS WIFE HAD VOMITED DURING THE LAST FEW DAYS.

EXCITED, HE REHEARSED THE PREGNANCY TALK, WITH HIS BEST FRIENDS AT WORK.

HE EVEN NERVOUSLY PRACTICED A SURPRISED, YET HAPPY EXPRESSION.

AS HE HURRIED HOME, WITH FLOWERS, AND ANNIVERSARY GIFTS, SHE WAS STILL RUNNING LATE ON THE FLOODED TRAIN, IN NYC.

IT WAS PART OF HURRICANE IDA.

THE STREETS WERE SO FLOODED, THAT NO VEHICLES COULD PASS.

HE GOT WORRIED, AS SHE WAS GONE, WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME. 

THEN, HE RECEIVED HER VOICE MAIL, TELLING HIM THAT SHE WAS IN A FLOODED TRAIN.

YET, HE RECEIVED NOTHING ELSE FROM HER, FOR THREE DAYS.

DAY FOUR :

HE GOT A MESSAGE THAT SHE WAS IN A HOSPITAL, UNCONSCIOUS, POSITIVE WITH COVID-19.

AS HE ARRIVED, IT WAS TOO LATE, HIS PREGNANT WIFE HAD PASSED AWAY, FROM COVID-19.

HE HAD TO BE TESTED, BUT, LUCKILY, WAS NOT POSITIVE.
