Contest Entry #13

I gave birth to a stillborn baby girl and named her Envy, the very nature of which she was conceived. I went crazy after that, sat myself in a rocking chair and sang lullabies to a corpse. I let dust gather on the bookshelves and food was left to spoil.

    The best line of this 55 fiction is the ’sang lullabies to a corpse’. The heart sinks deep with this line.
