The Realm Between Heaven & Hell
By J.S. Turner
Excerpt:
Pregnancy
was fun for Dawn. She transformed her extra bedroom into a nursery.
She painted the walls bright yellow and the borders light green. Her
mother bought her a mahogany crib and a jungle-themed crib set. When
money allowed, Dawn bought stuffed baby animals and soft, plush, pastel
blankets. What she enjoyed most about the pregnancy was that it was
Tucker-free. After a few weeks in prison and finding out about the
pregnancy, he wanted nothing more to do with Dawn.
She turned around, smiling after hanging a cloud, sun, and moon mobile on the
side of the crib. She happily wiped her hands on her yellow sundress with
satisfaction on finishing another project. Her calico cat meowed by her
bare feet; she carefully bent over and picked him up.
“I feel like my life is finally turning around, Jimmy Bean,” she whispered into
the scruff of the cat’s neck. He pawed playfully at her banana-shaped
earrings before she bent over to put him back on the nursery floor.
“Ughh,” she grunted as she tried to push herself back to
her feet. Ughh,” she said as she collapsed onto her knees. It felt
as though someone had punched her in the stomach, and in an instant, a stomach
cramp brought her down onto the floor. She felt the inside of her thighs
grow warm. She brought her shaking hands to her face and screamed when
she saw they were covered in blood. She knew she was going to lose the
baby.
I was 25 years old
before I figured out what I wanted to be when I grow up. I am not sure why
it took me so long to take my love for writing seriously. After all, I
have been at it for as long as I can remember. I remember the day I received my
first journal and how great it felt to have someone finally understand
me! I have a desk full of binders and folders packed with the
beginnings of stories, ideas and tidbits. Writing is who I am.
I guess the idea of doing what you love was a foreign concept
to me, but not anymore! ~Jessi
