Merlene's First son

Merlene had already given birth to many daughters.

They didn't really have names.

Merlene had always planned to name her first son 'Hema' as it is the latin word for blood.

So when Merelne found out she was pregnant for the 4th time, she was just ecstatic.

9 Months later, Hema was born. Finally Merlne had a son.

Many years later on Hema's 19th birthday, Merlene couldn't find him.

Where could Hema be?

Finally after much looking, she found a note, it said:

Dearest Mother,

I do realize that today is my 19th birthday, but I've fallen in love with the most amazing woman and we've gone on a miraculous ship together. We will be home by my next birthday, love always, Hema.

What? Why would Hema go on a ship with some woman he barley knew?

This confused Merlne a great deal.

Hema ended up being shipwrecked on an island and him and his wife were eaten by cannibals.

So Merlene never saw her son again, or met his wife.
