Short Story | The Son

By Hannah Johnson

September 6, 2018


Two parents started moving into their new home with their 2-month-old son. They brought in the crib and the mother instructed her husband to place their son inside. The father carried the infant in the house and walked out to continue unpacking. Fifteen minutes later, the mother heard a large crash. She ran quickly to where the sound came from.


A tree fell into the baby’s room! The mother began crying, because she did not hear her son screaming or crying. “My son is dead,” she thought as she hurried up the stairs to the baby’s room. The distraught mother searched into the crib. The sight brought her into a panic. He was not there! She ran down the stairs to find her husband.


“Honey, where is our son?”


“He is in the living room.” Without thinking she ran into the parlor. Finding her son, she embraced him.


“Lord, thank you for saving my son.”
