Maria, a woman known for her sharp tongue, found herself in an unprecedented situation. She woke up one day with a growing belly, and a prophecy from a witch echoing in her ears. She had been cursed to carry the souls of 100 unborn children, as a punishment for insulting the witch's poverty.

The witch, known as Zara, lived on the outskirts of the village. She was often the subject of ridicule due to her situation of poverty, yet she kept her peace. Until Maria, in a fit of arrogance, crossed the line.

Maria's initial shock and denial turned into acceptance as her belly kept growing. She felt a strange connection with the souls inside her. Their presence was a constant reminder of her actions.

As days turned into weeks, Maria started hearing whispers, the silent pleas of the unborn souls. She could feel their longing for life, their innocence, and their love for her.

The villagers, initially taken aback by Maria's sudden pregnancy, began to support her. They provided her with food and comfort, treating the unborn souls as their own children.

Maria found herself confiding in the souls, sharing her fears and dreams. She felt a bond growing between them, a bond of understanding and compassion.

Despite the physical discomfort, Maria found peace in her situation. She realized the importance of respect and empathy, learning from her past mistakes.

Maria started visiting Zara, seeking her guidance. Zara, in her own way, helped Maria understand the souls and their desires, bringing her closer to them.

The whispers grew louder, and Maria began to understand their language. Each soul had a unique voice, a unique story, and a unique dream.

As the third month approached, Maria felt a deep sadness. She had grown attached to the souls and was not ready to let them go.

Zara explained that the souls were never meant to stay. They were lost, looking for a chance to experience life, even if it was only for a short while.

Maria spent her last days with the souls cherishing their presence. She told them stories, sang them songs, and promised to remember them always.

The day of their departure arrived. Maria felt a mix of sadness and relief. She held her belly, whispering a final goodbye to the souls.

The souls left her body, filling the room with a bright light. Maria could hear their voices, thanking her for the love and care she had shown them.

Maria woke up the next day, her belly flat, but her heart full. She had learned to appreciate life, not just her own, but those of others as well.

Maria visited Zara, thanking her for the lesson. Zara smiled, acknowledging Maria's growth and maturity.

Maria's life changed drastically after that. She became a compassionate and understanding woman, always ready to help others.

She would often sit by her window, looking at the stars, whispering stories to the night sky, hoping that the souls could hear her.

The villagers respected Maria for her strength and kindness. They saw her transformation and were inspired to treat each other with more empathy.

Maria lived her life with grace, cherishing every moment. She carried the memory of the unborn souls in her heart, their whispers her guiding light.

Maria's story became a legend in the village, a reminder of the power of understanding and compassion, and the sacredness of every life.
