A baby is born
A chapter in the book A Life In Your Pocket
The Unsightly Beginning
by Heather Knight
United Kingdom, 1963
The leaves were turning copper brown and the breeze cooled the greyish asphalt.
It was a day like any other for most people, but John paced the corridors of the ugly little hospital in the centre of London, excitement and fear coursing through his veins. He was only twenty and his first child was about to be born.
He wondered whether the baby would be a boy or a girl, but most of all, he wondered if Barb, his wife, would ever forgive him.
She hated the hospital. However, he had only chosen it because it was near their home.

I have decided to write a novel in which each chapter has exactly 100 words. So far I have only written six chapters, but I'm enjoying the process very much.
The title A Life in Your Pocket is just the working title and is based on the fact that this is a series of flash fiction chapters.
