A Shard of Glass

Beth is a 22-year -old woman, who when she was 10-year-old, lost her entire family in a fierce snowstorm. She was the only one to escape her family's car that slid off an icy road into an ice-covered lake. When she escaped out one of the side windows of the station wagon, a small shard of glass embedded itself into her lake and after being rescued by a passer-by, Beth is taken to a hospital. Her surgeon visits Beth and, remembering the shard of glass in her leg, ask the surgeon if she can have it. For the rest of her life she wears the shard of glass around her neck to remember that fateful day when her family died in the lake and she lived.
