As To Seek To Console

One. Abbadon.

A tiny eighteen-month old form, helpless and naked but for a diaper and an IV, is lying in my arms.

We are nestled in the vastness of the hospital. Outside the sliding glass doors, overhead pages squawk from the ceiling, nurses and doctors and techs bustle past. Inside, the lights...
