Life Storm Abstract
(Benoit Hermant)
Anxious, Mario got closer from the vet who was examining Belladona , the cow he was so proud of. So proud that he had been eager to safeguard her caracteristics by having her calving as soon as possible which happened only two month before. He had also chosen the father, a strong bull with perfect genetics those would provide him with a quality progeny. But fate seemed to have decided against him . It was much too soon but nevertheless, Belladona had begun to deliver her newborn. The surgeon had been categoric about it and didn't give any hope to Mario who, besides, was perfectly able to realize what was going on. For the calf, no chance of survival. The mother on the other hand could perfectly recover from this premature delivery and the vet was here to make sure that the blue-ribbon of Mario's herd would be able to give birth anew after this first failure. ,The breeder gave the beast a loveful gaze and, doing this was able to read pain in her black eyes. Belladona understood pretty well what was happening to her, and she was sharing her sorrow with this man who had cherished her since she was born in the argentinian Pampa. With a last contraction, Belladonna expulsed the lifeless foetus that in other circumstances could have been her son. But she knew something her owner ignored. She knew it instinctively, the way she knew everything else. In spite of all the efforts the vet would make, the splendid beast would no longer be able to give life, to make this priceless present too many men are underestimating, be it the one of an animal, an entire species or even one of their likes. Mario's elder son Emilio, bolted into the stables. Rosetta, the second carrying cow of the herd was showing disquieting signs of delivery. Mario wondered what he could have done wrong, and prayed ardently the sky to have mercy on him and to preserve his farm from further suffering. He just couldn't imagine that, at this very moment, his prayers were exactly rehearsed by all the breeders in the region and beyond. Exhausted, Belladonna fell asleep on the straw, watching her master imploring his own, kneeled on the floor. She dreamt she was a mother
