New Born and missing

Di, 16 hours old

The shrill cry breathed into his dream, waking him up. He sat in the dark and breathed a sigh of relief as he realized that it was only his daughter, a new born - Just a tiny pink mule that slipped from his hand every time he picked her up. He closed his eyes and poked the lump that showed on the duvet, which he knew was his wife. But his heart skipped a beat when the duvet sank. His wife was missing.
