Here’s my attempt at a story about a creation:

Mama

She’s running her hands over the baby’s legs, marveling at the fine bones of his legs, the nubs of his toes. I made this body, she thought, with my love and determination to mother. He nuzzles into the crook of her arm, everywhere they touch a feedback loop of love.
