Unbegotten Child

A seasoned journalist, Miss Caffey, is rushed into a bustling city hospital after multiple doctors elsewhere label her condition a tumor or cancer. When the young resident, Dr. Foley, insists on a more unsettling diagnosis—a six‑month fetus—she erupts with disbelief, insisting she has never been with a man. Their terse exchange spirals into a strange collaboration as the doctor tries to convince her that something truly extraordinary is growing inside her.

Amid witty banter and the sterile hum of medical equipment, the story explores themes of identity, scientific uncertainty, and the thin line between miracle and illusion. As Miss Caffey demands proof and a way out, the narrative balances dark humor with a creeping sense of unease, hinting at forces beyond conventional medicine. Listeners are drawn into a tense, almost surreal first act that asks whether the impossible can ever truly be explained.
