It was an chilly late October morning in 1975. Julia stood in the kitchen of her small mobile home. She was a fairly short woman with almost waist length dark brown hair, big bright blue eyes, and an easy smile. Her loose blue dress hid most of her voluptuous body, but couldn't hide the huge bulge in her belly. She smiled as she ran her hand slowly down over swollen stomach.
"Any day now." Julia said wistfully.
Her eyes widened as the door burst open.
"What do you want?" Julia gasped as three men ran into the kitchen.
"Looks like you're due any day now." one of the men said as he lay his hand on her big belly.
"November 3rd according to the doctors." Julia said.
"Only six more days. I bet you'll wish we had waited." he said as the other two men grabbed Julia's arms.
Julia squirmed as one of the men planted his knee in the small of her back, forcing her to arch her back even more than she already was.
"No...please no!" Julia gasped as the man in front of her drew a knife.
"Oh don't worry, I'm just going to relieve a little strain on your abdominal muscles. It won't hurt...long." he said.
She watched the knife as long as she could but lost sight of it as he lay the point at the base of the bulge in the her abdomen.
"No...I'll do anything just don't...please don't do that." Julia screamed.
She jerked to her full height with a yelp as the point slid into her body.
"Ooohhhhhhh!" Julia shrieked as he quickly cut a deep slit straight up the middle of her belly almost to her sternum.
Her eyes bulged and her jaw dropped as she watched her belly slowly open. Thick reddish pink tubes began to wriggle out of her belly like long snakes as blood oozed over her lower lip. As she slumped against the men who held her Julia noticed a light pink mass among her writhing intestines.
"It was a boy." the man with the knife said.
Julia's eyes rolled upward as she was allowed to fall beside her guts. The baby lay writhing still coated in his mother's protective fluids and struggling for life until the knife was stuck into his belly. The child jerked convulsively a few times then lay still among the still slithering entrails of its mother. Julia and her unborn son were both dead.
