The change in the air.

after a hard ten seconds i saw her smile proudly.

oh there were at least four changes today. but all of them number ones.

i unfasten the two sticky tabs, ufold the cover.

could this be the change? the fifth change that will bring her relief?

she had a hard go of it these last three days.

pushed and pushed again, but zero results.

this time she scrunched up her tiny digits, all ten.

of the six teeth she has, i could see her showing the first two.

i unfurled the front.

and success. a long happy snake one inch in length and seven megatons strong.

i feel happy that she feels better. but my two nostrils are the collateral damage. twelve months of this and i am still not used to the pain...
