The Unthinkable Womb
Emily Carter believed the miracle—and terror—of carrying decuplets was the ultimate shock.
Her belly swelled impossibly huge by mid-pregnancy, a living testament to nature’s wildest dream.
Then came the routine scan.

Dr. Harrison’s face drained of color.
He stared, frozen, at the screen. Colleagues rushed in. Silence choked the room.
“Emily… you’re carrying ten. Decuplets.”
Joy collided with dread. Tears fell.
But weeks later, agony ripped through her. Back in the hospital, a new ultrasound shattered everything.
Dr. Harrison’s hands trembled.
Something moved in the shadows of her womb… something that wasn’t human.
A presence no one could explain.
A heartbeat that didn’t belong.
A truth too horrifying to speak.
Nine tiny lives fought to survive.

One entity lurked—alien, impossible, terrifying.
What was it? A guardian? A curse? A nightmare born inside her?
Emily clutched her husband’s hand, whispering through sobs:
“How much more can one heart endure?”
The womb that held a miracle… now cradled the unthinkable.
