As the storm raged outside, the midwife desperately tried to save both mother and child. But the mother's life proved too weak, and with a heavy heart, the midwife had to accept her fate.

With the newborn in her arms, the midwife knew that she had a duty to care for him. However, the storm showed no mercy. Lightning illuminated the sky, and thunder shook the foundations of the village. The midwife and the child found themselves lost and alone on a treacherous road.

As they stumbled through the darkness, the midwife's thoughts raced. She feared that they would never reach their destination. The storm seemed to mock their every step, becoming a cruel and relentless adversary.

Hours turned into days, and still, they wandered. The midwife's body grew weak, and the baby's cries grew fainter. Just when their hope was almost gone, they spotted a flicker of light in the distance. A nearby cottage offered shelter from the storm.

The midwife gratefully carried the child inside, her heart filled with a mix of relief and fear. The cottage was humble and sparsely furnished, but it provided a much-needed respite from the relentless storm.

As the midwife cared for the child, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. The cottage seemed strangely familiar, and the objects within stirred uneasy memories. It was then that she realized with horror that this was the home of the mother who had died during childbirth.

Overwhelmed by grief and guilt, the midwife broke down in tears. She had unknowingly brought the child back to the place where he had lost his mother. The weight of her responsibility became unbearable.

As the storm subsided, the midwife left the cottage and continued on her way. But the memory of that night haunted her for the rest of her life. She became consumed by nightmares and hallucinations, constantly reliving the events that had unfolded on the Road to Nowhere.

Years later, the midwife passed away, her name forever lost to history. But her legacy lived on. The villagers whispered tales of a ghost that haunted the road where the tragedy had occurred. They claimed to see a young woman dressed in white, carrying a child in her arms, her face forever etched with sorrow.

The ghost of the unnamed midwife became a symbol of the fragility of life and the haunting consequences that can follow from even the most selfless acts. And so, the road that had once been a symbol of hope and new beginnings became known as the Road to Nowhere, forever marked by the tragedy that had taken place there.
