Doorstep

Original Post Date: Monday, November 26, 2007

foundling \FOWND-ling\, noun: A deserted or abandoned infant; a child found without a parent or caretaker.

Carson stared at the child, unsure of how to respond to the baby's whimpers. The foundling, cradled in a car seat, was on his kitchen table when he arrived home from work half an hour before. The apperance of the child was odd enough, but she had the eyes and dimples of Maura--his sister who had been dead for six years.
