Forget

April 19, 2020 | Massachusetts | 20-29 years

My friend and I were at an unfamiliar farm and we overhear two people discussing who thought they were their ex lovers. One of them said “we have to forget about them.” My friend and walk down the road to an old house where these two people live and we start to help them clean out one of the rooms in their house. Somehow I find these two envelopes but when I look inside, I am horrified to find a sick baby and an ear of corn inside each envelope. I am suddenly and completely filled with panic and fear. I realize they weren’t talking about their ex lovers at all, but the sick babies. I realize they tried to hide the babies in the backyard because they were sick, and just wanted to let them die there. I was so stricken by how little they cared about the dying babies.
