100-WORD-STORY runner-up from Readers Digest South Africa: 2007: The harsh overhead lights blurred her vision. The procedure complete. She was desperate. Scared. Alone. Tragically the victim: an unplanned baby. 2013: The blonde haired little boy sits comfortably on the back seat between his two younger brothers. His heart filled with love for the woman driving. He giggles as he listens adoringly to his family singing “The wheels on the bus”. He joins in. At the park his mum unbuckles his brothers. He watches them, their voices fading as they run excitedly towards the roundabout. Once again they have left him behind. “Why don’t they ever see me?” - Elizabeth Robbertze, Nelspruit, Mpumalanga
