A mother's fatigue has disastrous consequences for her child. - Story in 55 words.
The tired mother fell asleep on the couch. Her six months old son crawled out of the door which was carelessly left ajar. It opened onto a busy road. Screeching tires shattered her sleep. When she didn’t see her baby, she panicked and rushed to the door.

The truck stood inches from her smiling baby.
