The protagonist had children with her partner, but she didn't want them anymore because she didn't feel like she was good at taking care of them. She drowned all of her children in the bathtub and laid them out in a row. She felt like she had wasted her life and that the world was not a safe place for babies, so she sent them back to the earth. She is now waiting for her partner to come home and wondering if he'll miss them, but she knows that people will think she's a monster for what she has done.
