Title: Out of the Darkness (G)
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 100
Prompt: Darkness
*****

For 37 weeks there was the rhythmic sound for company in the darkness. Once there was plenty of room but around him space kept shrinking until it was squirm and push trying for something more comfortable. He kicked his foot petulantly against the walls in futility at his confinement. Sometimes he’d run his hand over places made harder by things outside. A light pressure usually came as a result of those movements of his, another rhythmic something he’d discovered was soothing.

Contractions happened, squeezing him, pushing him somewhere … and there was light and air for his welcomed first cry.

I thought I should try a positive spin. *grins*
Neither of these is as good as yours.

LOL I'm ignoring the suggestion of what he was groping!

Awwww *blush*
I love how a single prompt can set people writing such different things :)

Perfect! I suppose that's just how it felt back there in the womb . . .

*grins* I suppose that must be it for that time before birth. But I was little and had no real frame of reference to judge by at the time.
My mom with instruction from a nurse did have to teach me how to suckle. I perhaps wasn't the most knowledgable capable kid to come out of the womb.
