OK, I thought Martha and then became completely confused
after reading this:
The world is a savage place, and this one more than the last.
Maybe you're talking about Lara, then? I also wondered if you were writing about someone else entirely before realizing you were talking about the ship. D'oh!
Beautiful sentiments about motherhood. I was sad to read that the ship 'died' after delivering the baby. A very original idea. I liked it.
