I am an English Major, though this sucker was written years ago and I'd like to think I'm at least a little better nowadays.

Regarding the reply: No, this entire thing was not written as an anti-abortion campaign, the climax regards the state of immorality and innocence. Walsh was written to be an unlikeable though not horrible person who went completely insane via seeing exaggerated truths in the world around her. Believing she had been infected by the monsters who assaulted her, she tried to kill the thing within and, as a result of seeing exaggerated truths, saw the fetus as pure innocence and herself as pure, useless destruction for killing it.

Whatever you believe about the nature of living things, a fetus cannot be intentionally malevolent. Walsh simply could not handle the stimulus of these exaggerated truths and ultimately killed herself.

... GRANTED that would have been more clear if I went through with making this an ongoing series featuring Bertram and his "kind" which would have portrayed them as less mysterious and more openly malevolent, but still. It wasn't supposed to be anti-abortion (even if I am pro-life), it was supposed to be a dichotomy of innocence and destruction.

But if I failed to get you to realize that when you read, that's my fault and my failing.
