Afterbirth

In The womb, there were a set of twins, a boy and a girl. They rested happy there, but soon it was almost time to be born. Brother turns to look at sister.

“Hey sister, are you scared?”

She looks at him confused.

“Scared of what brother?”

“Birth, y’know, being born?”

His sister looks at him again and chuckles “Why would I be scared of birth? Noting bad is going to happen.”

“Well that’s kinda the thing I’m worried about sister, I’ve never doubted for a second that there is life. But now that I’m so close to it. I just- I don’t know! What if it just goes black! What if there is no life after birth?”

Sisters mouth went from a humours smile it a blank line. She thinks for a second before turning back to Brother.

“Well, we won’t know will we? Birth is apart of our existence, who knows! Maybe it will go black, but what if there is life after birth and we can see mother.”

“But what if mother and father aren’t real?”

“But what id they are? We can’t spend the rest of our time here wondering what happens next. We just need to hope for the best.”

Brother thinks for a moment then nods “You’re right.”

It’s almost time.

“Are you still scared of birth?” Sisters says with a smile

“A little bit, but I’m ready for whatever happens.”
