Bad Cradle



I was holding someone's baby. I didn't know who the baby belonged to, but I was afraid that I might drop it. The child's head kept lolling around, and it was too heavy to support. I looked through a window, and saw that people were watching me with the child. I knew that I wouldn't be able to hold the baby very much longer before something tragic happened.
