In the scorching summer heat of August, the temperature in Horington had risen to thirty degrees Celsius since the early mornings. The entire city felt as hot as a bun in a steamer if it wasn’t for the occasional sea breeze.

In the obstetrics and gynecology department of Flora Verba Hospital, Roxanne felt wave after wave of contractions squeezing her abdomen. The sweat dotting her forehead, the deep crease between her brows, and her tightly-clenched jaw showed her fight to keep the pain from showing on her face.
