The Big Fat Bump


There it was looking content with its own exalted state, that big fat lump. It thought back to its inception a few seconds back and how it saw the universe through strands of graying hair. Strange as it may seem, it knew its shelf life was limited so it hurried to take in the beauty of the whole world in its limited time.
The faint groans and moans were slowly dying a natural death while this new life was breathing in its first few breaths of adulterated fresh air with a few choicest words thrown in …enough to immediately transform the newly born to an awkward teen in a matter of minutes.
With sudden growth came sudden pain… the freezing pain of a ice being slammed down… stunting its growth… the cold freezing its very existence… it tried to find a corner, an inch from where it could spring forth and escape the cold sting of death….but it was getting flattened down by its own destiny.
It struggled to keep its head up the icy chill…maybe it was time to invoke the secret weapon, maybe it was time to give it a last push…maybe it was its last chance…but push it did…and the fine skin of membrane between its vital fluids and the gray tresses were ruptured…the fluids gushed out with a vengeance but the cold also blew in with a icy resolve. It was the battle of a lifetime…a mere 30 sec life but life it was and it was not going to give in so easily.
As it saw the last drops of its life giving fluid being wiped clean in an antiseptic wipe, it knew that the end was near, that it was time to bid farewell to this wonderful and scary world where the survival was for the fittest. But it resolved to give a little memento …something to remember it by …it left open the womb as a gushing wound for all to see.
