"Crying"
by Edward Martin III

The damn baby cried and cried and cried. Nobody said it would be easy, but that crying was like a metal spike twisting in her brain. She often fantasized about smothering the thing. Unfortunately she shared this with a neighbor and so exactly one year after the baby accidentally suffocated, the State executed her.
