³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

State of the Union by Rachael Fulton

42 year old Jan finds herself unexpectedly pregnant with a late baby. Her marriage is in a perilous condition but - as she tells her unborn baby about the current world and the story of the baby’s conception – Jan realises that she is going to stay with Alan.
The story is a reaction to the Supreme Court ruling last week on an Independence Referendum in Scotland.
