Mikayla, and: Spacing, and: Zero Fatalities

Abstract: An exploration of the Bard's question: "What's in a name?" An examination of waffling. On the one hand: the desire for lived experience and human connection, even if the cost is deep grief and pain. On the other hand: wanting to put off grief and pain as long as possible. The narrator weighs her biological and emotional desire for children with the weight, responsibility, and grief of raising the children she already has.
