It was a lovely sunset. Lily sat at the edge of the cliff with her baby at her side. There had been a faint rumbling all day, but it had stopped now and she hoped that it meant everything was fine. Ever since the infant's father had disappeared, she- Lily's thought broke off. The mountain was moaning and shaking, as though it was quaking with fear. Lily knew she had to get away from the edge of the cliff, but it was too late. Cracks appeared and Lily began to fall. She knew she had to protect her baby and she curled into a ball around it as she fell.
Hours later, firemen on the scene discovered the body of a woman, buried in the fallen rocks. She was holding a tiny baby girl who, miraculously had survived the fall, although sustaining severe injuries to the head and spine. The infant was taken to a nearby hospital and there she stayed until old enough for a children's home.
