Unborn Prologue: Rain pelted from the night sky, carrying with it the roar of thunder. The night had started out clear, stars twinkling against the moon’s light.

Its face was angular, skin drawn tightly over the bones…its complexion the pallor of death. To her horror, she watched as the rain parted for this figure. Walking passed; it didn’t even acknowledge her presence, sauntering into the hospital’s lobby, the smell of ash trailing behind.
