Quiet Hour Rewrite

Rewrite the story from the perspective of the mother, father, or 'statue man'. Your story MUST cover the same day (hour) as is covered in the original. Names and details that are already noted in the original may not be changed, but other characters can be given names suitable to the setting. The back story of your character should shine some light on how this situation came to be. Remember that adults do not use the innocent eye!*
