Give me a finger to chew while you feed the baby.
Sickness swirls in my belly.
I regard the blunt dirty knife again.
The baby had stopped crying while I wasn't paying attention, but starts again when I hesitate.
No mother can ignore the cry of her child.
The witch hushes and rocks the baby.
I kneel.
Even willing, I don't think I can keep my feet while cutting off my finger.
It should be a difficult choice, which finger to sever from my hand.
But it's not.
The wedding band is dull in the cold moonlight and the knife aligns with it easily at the base of my finger.
I press down.
The knife's blunt edge catches and tears up my skin and flesh as I saw through my bone.
The pain makes my vision waver and fade, and I have to cut blind because if I stop, I won't be able to finish.
I have to finish.
I have to feed my child.
His hungry cries bounce between the trees, bordering the clearing.
Finally, finally, the knife bounces off the frozen earth and my vision clears, though I'm panting like I've been running from a bull.
I can see now my blood wasn't frozen as I believed.
It puddles red and glistening below by my hand.
