Ok, so I have always thought that you write brilliantly.  This only confirms it.  So sad to lose a child, and not just one who dies from something unpreventable, but through outright murder.  Wonderfully emotional, although you don't realize it until the very end exactly how emotional you are going to have to be about it.  You have to think about it for a second, and it's great that you don't really see it coming.  I am assuming that the scar wasn't actually from the war, but from a caesarian section.  Tricksy Salty!  ;)  BTW, I obviously got to read it before I thought I would. 

Oh my but that is heart breaking! well done

Leaves alot to the imagination, but what i am thinking is quite horrible!-KarlaMarie

That sent shivers down my spine just thinking about the implications. It's a very gruesome thought, but I enjoyed the story nonetheless. Very believable and well-written.

Sad, but well-done.  I like how you've left a lot to the imagination.

I like it! It makes an interesting read, short and to the point.

Grr... Lucius in a bad form. Darn. Dramatic and very sad. :(
