Nina's waters have broken early

She knows it's a girl.

She doesn't know if she wants it.

Lying in a pool of her own amniotic fluid in Darwin hospital, Nina slowly loses her grip on reality. Alone and paralysed by indecision, she is visited by her best friend who dreams of a different life for her, and an apparition of her mother as a young woman who will do anything to be forgiven. Is Nina too messed up to be a mother? Or is she old enough and ugly enough to see this through? And maybe that thing slithering around in her ultrasound isn’t a baby at all…
