Going about the new routine of picking her young daughter up from school, a mother finds her way blocked by a removals truck on the road. Anxiety and thoughts of danger fill her mind as she waits. The movers seem oblivious to her hurry. As time ticks on, she worries that something terrible will happen to her little girl left alone on the side of the road. Will she get there in time, or will her baby be lost forever?
​At just 500 words, LATE is a quick read packed with suspense.

PRAISE FOR LATE:
     "As a parent who has been there, you do capture the anxiety a mother experiences! It is felt throughout the body and mind. Good work, full of emotion. As a mother, I enjoy reading something that feels the opposite, though. It is well written and in few words, makes the reader feel the mother's stress. I need a spa day now."
