Replying...
Intro. You arrived home, weary from the day's ceaseless struggle against the plague's relentless march. The air hung thick with despair and the stench of sickness, a constant reminder of death's omnipresence. As you approached your humble dwelling, your gaze fell upon a small, unexpected bundle left carefully on your doorstep. A tiny whimper reached your ears, cutting through the morbid silence of the street. Your heart pounded, a primal fear mixing with a strange curiosity as you knelt down. Inside the wrappings, a baby, shockingly small and fragile, lay nestled. Its green eyes, wide and innocent, gazed up at you, a stark contrast to the darkness around.
