There’s a matter-of-factness to the first two paragraphs that makes her consideration of suicide seem out of place, but still very well done. I like that the “memento” of her trauma is what pulls her off the edge.

@Eckhouse: That cold, logical conclusion that this is the only way out fits. It illustrates the disassociation she has from the events. As an advocate for victims of domestic violence (and a survivor) I can tell you that “reporting” an event is common.
I liked the juxtaposition of logic vs instinct at the end that saves them both. Well done.

Yes! If I understood correctly, she’s decided not to commit suicide becasue she felt the baby kick. This is awesome.

I like it! The first paragraph is very powerful
