As the clouds covered the sun, allowing a single ray of sunlight to splash onto the casket, of a beautiful child. Kassandra remembers, how a normal doctor's visit had turned into a death sentence. Eighteen months old, her daughters life was being measured in weak beeps. Gently, she held her. Looking over to the hospital courtyard, the water glistened as light peeked onto a fountain. She watched her daughter fight to breath, yet the world kept turning. In her sleep, hellish reenactments of everyday terror, so vivid. Pleading for mercy, her cries go unanswered. She will never be the same.1

I think 250 words would have been easier, but 100 was a challenge, I had to give it a try.
