No period. No warning. It was final like a full stop. No more tears every month over blood specks, knowing the likelihood of having a baby had slipped through her fingers. All the chances had gone. Diana emptied her bathroom cabinet and filled a carrier bag with stockpiled pregnancy tests.

a very poignant story, well told - love the third sentence in particular!
interesting trail you laid for us to follow
It's interesting that the "No period" made me think at first that the problem was that she WAS pregnant! It's sobering to see the sadness caused by the opposite case.

This is nice and tight. Good 6. I thought the same as Madam Z.
Great story!

Thank you :)

Wow this was amazing! : )
I am with Madam Z, I too thought she was pregnant. Great turn. Both haunting, and very sad.
Hi Shaylen
Thanks for the comment. It has made my day (I'm currently unwell and slumped across the sofa).
