rest, matte black, with its hood raised like a tiny, shadowed chapel.
Inside sat a small box topped with a black envelope.
My name was written across it.
Suddenly frightened, I stepped backward.
My body struck another stroller, causing it to tip.
I caught it before it fell and noticed a box inside that one too.
The black stroller unsettled me, but this one did not.
I opened its box.
A carefully folded baby blanket rested inside.
Beside it were tiny socks and a pacifier still sealed in its packaging.
