Making me have an abortion to dispel the evidence

The Weight of Silence

This harrowing psychological thriller plunges viewers into the suffocating aftermath of trauma, where grief, guilt, and systemic suspicion converge. Unlike conventional revenge or mystery shorts, Making me have an abortion to dispel the evidence refuses easy answers—it frames silence not as weakness, but as a deliberate, visceral act of resistance against narrative erasure.

A Secret That Kills

What sets this short apart is its inverted causality: deaths aren’t consequences of the secret—but *enactments* of it. The grandmother’s suicide isn’t just tragedy; it’s the first rupture in reality. Each subsequent death tightens the noose—not around the protagonist’s morality, but around the audience’s assumptions. While most suspense-driven reels rely on fast reveals or villain monologues, Making me have an abortion to dispel the evidence sustains dread through restraint: fragmented flashbacks, unblinking close-ups, and that chilling final gesture—stroking her belly amid funeral ashes.

Truth Beyond Testimony

In an era saturated with confession-driven storytelling, this short dares to withhold the secret entirely. Its power lies not in what’s said, but in how institutions (media, police, online mobs) weaponize absence. The protagonist’s refusal to speak becomes the ultimate subversion—her body, her pregnancy, her stillness all speaking louder than any courtroom testimony. It’s less about “whodunit” and more about who gets to define truth when power controls the microphone.
