"The Crying Bride"
On the morning of the wedding, Liz woke with a searing pain in her guts and blood in her panties. She crawled to the toilet, where more blood gushed out. In the bowl, she saw lumps and clots she didn’t want to examine too closely. She flushed them all away, then curled up on the cool tiles of the bathroom floor, clutching her stomach, and began to moan.
Her mother heard her and came in to help. Liz groaned that she was having terrible cramps. No way was she getting married today.
