BABY IN A JAR | TANIA HERSHMAN There was just one left, and the shelf seemed so bare and lonely. I took her home. Instructions showed me how to put on nappies; the jar was large and my hands are small. She didn't cry. She never cries. And like a butterfly flapping its wings somewhere across the world she affects everything just by being here. Tania Hershman is a former science journalist originally from London, now living in Jerusalem. She is author of “The White Road and Other Stories.” More at www.taniahershman.com.http://www.taniahershman.com/shapeimage_1_link_0
