Honorable Mention Writing Winner - Jess Noble

Excerpt from "The Baby with no Name," by Jess Noble:

"'And what’s that one’s name?' I asked the nurse, gesturing to the baby boy under the window. He was placed on his back on a bare metal bed frame, away from the others, and he was crying softly - almost inaudible. "No name", the nurse muttered, scurrying out of the room. Strange, I thought. The other babies had names."
