the baby

Henry and Sarah. They were a couple that had lived in the deep swampland of alabama for the last 10 years. Every day Henry would get in his boat and he would go to town for work. He was a clerk at a liquer store. His wife sarah would stay at home with the animals. They had chickens and pigs. They were convinient because they constantly reproduced, were low maintnece, and they supplied them with lots of food. Henry and Sarah were extremely poor. So poor that they couldnt even afford condoms. So they simply took the chance every time. They knew that there was no way that they could support a child, but that wasnt wort not having sex. Having little money the only fun thing to do for poor people is have sex. They would do it in the morning, during lunch when henry came home, and about 3 times at night. They felt that they were safe enough. Henry always made sure he pulled out. But they werent that safe. One day Sarah realized she was pregnant. They panicked. WHat were they gunna do. How were they going to be able to feed this baby. How were they going to be able to cloth it. they decided they would deal with it when it came. Months went on. Henry tried working extra but he only made 3 dollars an hour and that only covered the rent. Finally the baby came. It was beautiful. It was crying. It was already a pain in their ass. They lasted about a month. Henry went extremely hungry. Sarah needed to eat all of their food to keep the baby alive. It wasnt working out. Henry decided it was about time to end this. He took the baby on the boat. It started crying. Henry took it deep in to the swamp and dropped it off the boat. It was quite a relief. He drove the boat back home. Met his wife at the door, and they instantly hopped in bed.
