Why?

In "Why?", baby Billy Bailey’s sudden refusal to sleep through the night at just 13 months becomes an unexpected lifeline when his restless wakefulness alerts his parents to a fire they might have otherwise slept through—just in time to escape. A quiet, grounded moment of childhood unpredictability turns into a quiet miracle, all in five pages of early 1956 fantasy.
