Five-year-old Emily knew her mother always got up before her. But one morning, Michelle was still lying in bed, and nothing Emily did would wake her. Frightened and alone, she dialed the emergency number Michelle had taught her.

As Emily spoke to the dispatcher, a strange sound came through the phone. Water was running somewhere in the apartment, and Emily had no idea how long it had been on. What had happened while she was asleep?

#1: Mom Won’t Wake

Emily found Michelle lying in bed long after breakfast time. She called her mother’s name and touched her shoulder, but Michelle did not open her eyes. Emily tried again, a little louder this time.

When nothing changed, she went to find the phone.
