  Everyone had crammed inside Rosa and John's house to talk about what had just happened. John spoke up: "SILENCE!"

He swallowed. "This is my house and my son, therefore, you will speak by my rules! We shall do this the simple way: those of you who wish for us to keep our real son may step to the left and anyone against our human rights may step to the right!" People pushed and shoved one another and ran to the side they wished to stand on.

Gently, Rosa nudged John and he looked up from the floor. Every single citizen and stood to the left. Except one. The drunk old man with no name lay on the floor, laughing: "I..... I..... He'd come to swap our children!!" He continued laughing, clutching his stomach while the crowd dispersed.
