3 Minute Fiction

She closed the
book, placed it on the table, and finally decided to walk through the
door. She knew that birthing this baby
would not be easy, but as a rural mid-wife in Mississippi, she realized that
the powerful qualities of clary sage would help ease the child out.
The mother had already been in labor for
10 hours and had pushed for 5. The
baby’s heartbeat was starting to get more faint. The mother was exhausted and the mid-wife
feared for the safety of both mother and baby.
Confident that she held the answer to
the woman’s agony in her hands, the mid-wife took a last look at the book
“Clinical Aromatherapy for Pregnancy and Childbirth.” Creating a potion of the ancient remedy, she
carried it to the laboring woman, hopeful for a miracle.
