The intricate carvings glared back at the girl; mocking her as she clutched the stillborn body in her hands. Her unwashed bloodstained clothes clung to her body as she entered the small temple, placing the body in the fountain's pool with a single coin, and voice boomed "Is this your desire?" as the fountain ran.
In case you have managed to miss it, I love word play.

Therefore, despite the child being A stillborn, it was Still Born into this world, by other means.

Very sad, but I love it. I definitely want to know more about this temple and what's going to happen now that she's placed the body/coin in the fountain.
