Flying Baby Meets an Untimely Fate

Sparks flew and fire lit up the midnight sky when the explosion of a NASA rocket shook an entire state. The baby, stepping up to the expectations of rescuing the crew of four from the out-of-control rocket, carried the rocket away from its unmarked target.

The crew was safely grounded, but the heroic toddler never made it back.

"The rocket was still being carried off," says scientist Rupert Trepur. "But when it was near the o-zone, it blew up in the baby's hands."

The poor tot was only trying to be a good sumariton. But fate had other plans for him.

Though scraps of the rocket were later recovered, the body of the baby never was. Services were held at dawn near the crash site. Hundreds of thousands of spectators gave their respects to their hero and savior as the mysterios baby was given the traditional unbodied burial of a soldier.

Who will ever be able to protect our citizens from danger now? Who will be the one that gives us comfort when times seem dire and the world is helpless? We will never know.
