The Exhibit
by Donna Mazza
In the toilets at the back of the doctor’s surgery I pee into a plastic jar. Of course I also pee on my hand, I’m sure everyone does, but I wipe it dry with a piece of toilet paper and screw on the yellow lid. This is it—the test.
Just an eye-dropper of urine on the stick and they know right away. He turns to me and smiles.
And so it begins.
