The Story of a Boy and His Mother

The boy named kim tucky yadson stood in the doorway of the small room where he slept and schooled. The man never looked at his mother's swollen belly. He said simply, you have been granted an exception. There were three of them now hugging, and soon there would be four. That night he dreamed of her again. Her name would be ciara. In the dream, she looked a little like sido's sister two floors down, but also like his mother. Daughters should look like their mothers, shouldn't they?
