I kept stumbling and slipping on the muddy ground. Finally I stopped and placed the tiny body on the ground. I started digging with my bare hands. I tried not to think about anything as I dug and dug in the darkness. Whenever the lightning flashed, I could see the baby’s body beside me. A ghastly, tragic sight. It was the last straw. I stood up and shouted into the void, “Why do we have to bear such suffering? What did we do to deserve this?” Hot tears coursed down my already soaked face.
