"The Third Rail Stillborn" - Pamela

"The Third Rail Stillborn" - Pamela
inspired by
"Reasons for Elevators" - Drager Lindsey


The redefining and in some ways more clarifying revision almost sequel-like version of


"Reason for Elevators"...


This take is by Pamela from the point of view of a surviving twin.  A flesh and blood human being whose survival is cause for harsh anxiety both for a mother and her innocent surviving living child.


The mother may have blamed the living twin for having to go full term as a "living coffin".  Resenting her survival, her existence. 


A mother's mourning and grieving is not negotiable.  Her pain and grief immeasurable.  For this, a mother should receive whatever she needs.  Whatever is requested by her be it space, counseling, moving to a new home, should be considered reasonable...


...but I am sure, not without consequence.   


The secondary consequence here though is survivor who is not accepted as good enough to draw the same amount of love as a stillborn receives grief. 


An unfortunate secondary tragedy in this "sequal-like" adaptation of "Reason for Elevators"...


...but NOT to be considered a secondary story!


Well written Pamela!
