She was faithful. She prayed day after day, begging for a child.
The Lord had bestowed one upon her, and she had taken good care of herself. She cut down smoking and drinking, picked up yoga and became vegetarian. The Lord would be proud.
Still she continued to pray. The Lord blessed her further with her husband's pay rise, allowing her to quit her job and live in comfort.
She prayed harder and harder, and the Lord granted her no morning sicknesses, no nausea, great health. The Lord ensured that her pregnancy wasn't too unbearable.
She was grateful for the Lord, and she prayed harder still as she went into labour.
But alas! She delivered her child in great pain, and she knew instantly that it was the Devil's work. So she smothered the kid with a pillow as he slept. She knew it was unholy. She knew, because she was faithful, because 6 was the devil's number, and the good Lord would not have given her a child with an extra finger.
