Please don't take responsibility for me!" With that, I grabbed my card and ran, disappearing overnight. Three months later, he waited outside my hometown, holding a report in one hand and staring intently at my round belly with the other, gritting his teeth: "Have the snacks in your belly come to life? They've even grown into the shape of a fetus?"
