Its mother merely establishes contact by scratching the infant's basket with a fingernail. The clippings were her own. She rubbed it up and down the soft fabric that the baby was in, the baby gently kicking. She let the piece go and it landed at his feet.
She then reached over and picked up a necklace that was made from a collection of fingernail clipping spanning her pregnancy. She let the baby feel it with its hands. Naturally, the baby put in in his mouth, wetting the necklace with his lips and tongue. She let him, thinking that this will be the best way for her to get back at Kyle. Who was she to raise a kid, even if it was her own?
The baby spat out the necklace only to re-engage with it seconds later. He wasn't sure quite what to make of the thing.
She let him have it. That is when Superwoman busted through the door.
"It has been raging for years in the rural community," said Superwoman, "weighing heavy on the hearts of people."
"My baby will be just fine without you interfering."
"That is not what you were thinking moments ago."
"Your abilities don't work in here. I can show you whatever I please."
Superwoman studied the woman's tricks and traps she'd laid out in her mind. She had studied the mazes as her elders instructed. Few others survived for so long in the test trials. Fewer still were the ones to face her and live to tell the tale.
"Don't you care for me?" the woman asks, head lowered, her eyes pointing forward above her purple bagged.
"Of course I care for yo..." no its a tr ... "What do you nee..." calm your nerves by breathing.
"Superwoman, would you like to touch the fingernail clipping necklace that I've worked so hard to create over the nine agonizing months?"
The iron was heavy in Superwoman's mind, a weight she'd never felt before dropped her to her knees. A trap door opened and she fell into the water, holding herself up on all fours with trembling limbs.
The woman hissed, "Abomination, powerless, ungrateful was Kyle, leaving me before giving me a chance. I'll teach the wretched gods to send me a dead baby." She looked up to the sky as if looking at Jesus right in the face. "You have no love for me."
Superwoman felt the iron getting much heavier, heavier than anything she had encountered in the past. Then she remembered, it's all in her mind. She herself placed the weight on top of herself.
Superwoman struggles to breathe.
Tune in next week and find out the answer you seek."

Steem Monsters Common Card Fantasy Story Contest! - Coming out roughly every week. If you enjoy card games like Magic, Yugio, and others like it, you might like this game. Write a fictional tale about the card they present in the contest and your entry just might be the one they choose to showcase.
Tell A Story To Me, And Win 5 SBD! Writing Contest - Kind of random when it comes out but don't worry. You will have two weeks to complete your work of art from the given prompt. Have fun!
Haiku - These are coming out every couple days or so. If you struggle with rhymes, no worries. Haikus don't have to rhyme. All you need to make a haiku is five syllables on the first, seven syllables in the second line, and again back to five syllables for the last line. So easy it makes me think I'm being super productive. LOL
Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku Contest - By reading the title, you should be able to guess how this haiku contest works. You're given an image and you write. I've really enjoyed this contest because there are people here who've actually gone to classes to learn how to write haiku's; so if you want, you also can learn how to write quality haikus from reading the comments and critiques they and others give.
Micro-Fiction Writing Contest - This is a fun challenge. You get two-hundred and fifty words to tell a story or vignettes. Here is a great post that will explain the difference between the two concepts. Here is another post explanation of what a story is. Good luck, Brave Story Writer!
Vocab-Ability 1x1 - What happens is you are given a list of roots and the words they can be found in. You create a sentence using those words and post in the comment section of the post.
