Cecilia discovered short-form content once more. But this time, it was through her own phone.
The device had become an extension of her hand. How could it not? It was like a portal to a world of infinite information that she was only beginning to explore.
She had started, sensibly enough, with research about human female pregnancy experiences carrying a beast's baby. The medical terminology was still unfamiliar, the abbreviations still confusing, but she was learning.
She read about calcium supplements and prenatal vitamins and the strange cravings that came with carrying a child that was not human.
Then she fell into a rabbit hole.

Then another video, a mother of twins describing the horror of morning sickness that lasted all day.
Then another. And another.
