Natural
She awakes from a deep slumber by violent pains in her
abdomen. She opens her droopy eyes and gets up from her bed to go ask for some
medications. When she gets up she sees a pool of red on her sheets. She is
absolutely horrified and yet she remains calm. It’s a day she knew would come,
not that she was enthusiastic about it, but she was prepared. She goes to her
mother and wakes her up as well. At first her mother is disgruntled about being
woken up at such an ungodly hour, but once she hears the news her disposition changes
completely. Her mother’s face lights up and she gives her a warm hug. She
manages to wiggle out of the hug and they get to business washing the sheets
while her mother talks to her about how she is now a woman. They talk about how
ever girl comes to age a certain points in their life and how she is now a part
of the so called ‘club’. She nods and smiles while in her mind all she can
think about it going back to sleep. She dreads the fact that she will go
through this on a regular basis, and wishes she didn’t have to. Alas, this is
how it is and there is not much she can do about it, nature is nature and no
man, or woman should doubt the ways of nature.
