Squash Couvade

[mlerules]

Decent night o' sleep. Odd dreams though. Out in conservatory/squash patch. Sharp internal pains. Squash couvade. Reached over and palpated pulsing, growing bits at end of squash runners. Peeled back leaves and found small cabbage/squash-patch kidlets. Two sharing space. Too young to survive, or so I supposed. Dunno really much 'bout gestation of humanoid squash creatures. They slowly cooled...and their heartbeats stopped. Could I have prevented this? I felt it inside myself as their life essences drained away. Shuddering guilt. Odd.

Leaving that behind, I'm looking forward to the day. SheBop calls...
