When the time came for removal, I wanted to die.

Ten hours. That's how long it took to reject it; my body pained, edematous. Bright lights and masked doctors. Rubber gloves bloodied in the corners where the fingers joined the hand.

They deliberated, unsure—

Cut it out?

It was resilient, masticating my insides, siphoning. Virulently alive.

Purple and red—

Bruised like a smashed plum, they extracted it. Snip. Snip. Saturated flesh, slick with bits of me, slithered up my chest, violating.

A slimy, new lifeform to make the skin crawl off my bones.

"Congratulations," the nurse said. "It's a girl."
