a child entersfacing a terrible unknown.looking into the emotion-less facesof the one's who have journeyed here.taken into a room one by onetheir silent fear turns to eloquenceas they speak of the mistakesthat have brought them together.the mother with five others at home,the fourteen-year-old so alone,the yuppie who values her career,the one with a failed attempt to trap.they all have their storiesand now they share;unburdening themselves to thosewho share a certain misery.they leave the room as they enteredone by one.uncertain, not knowing if their choice was the right one.they lay on the cold sterile tableeyes closed to the tearsthe man in white a distant figurestanding bloodied at their feet.they say goodbye to innocence,that certain creation they will never seeit will forever to remain a secretthat gift they will never receive.
