And Then She Ends (So Tragically)

Hope-filled woman dies on the cusp of her dream come true.

Midjourney created this image at my prompting: young black woman skips a step. Looking down, “Gasp!” She holds her belly; she is bleeding from a stab wound. The author owns provenance and copyright.

Life Happens

Exhilaration She got the job The apartment She is feeling such hope She skips down the pavement

She Feels Joy

The sun is shining She is blinded That woman bounced into her Wait — what’s happening? She skips a step

Then, A Random Act

Looking down, “Gasp!” Dazed Crumpling She holds her belly Her steps stop

Interrupts Her Joy

Her life — would be — life Glazed eyes Blood flows down Onto the pavement Out of step

Death Happens
