A Shawl of Love There were so
many changes in the route that the trains were always almost
empty.
Among the mountains, the steam locomotive aimed at the destination
slowly
as if crawling on the ground. The train creaked curiously when it
moved and stopped. Each car had 2 potbelly stoves, and the passengers
threw coals into the stoves to
suit themselves and warmed their hands. From
the windows, there could be seen
many houses of coal miners aligned at
the mountain foot. One evening, the scene The house was at the end of the area of cramped street far apart from the other residences. When I opened the heavy sliding door, I found a number of people, children too, looking at me anxiously. Nobody tried to move at all in the narrow room. I barely managed to find a place for me to sit down. In the middle of the room, a large wood stove was burning noisily. "Doctor, her condition changed suddenly a while ago," said the attending midwife. |

Surprised by the
patient's look, I held her wrist but couldn't feel her
pulse. She was dead.
When I said, "She ascendedto heaven", "Ascended?, oh, no....... Can't do anything,
then?" said the midwife. The room quieted for a moment. I put my
hand on her abdomen, and I could easily make out a part of the limbs of
an unborn child. I judged it was from her hysterorrhexis. To know the
reason, washing my hands, I examined her gynecologically. The tip of my
finger clearly touched the buttocks, which I thought were smaller than
normal. |
