In “The Kid in the Ambulance,” a paramedic finds a young boy who’s been missing for decades.

STORY EXCERPT:

          A woman had called in a kid walking in the dark along the side of a road in the snow. When we arrived he was standing at the edge of the caller’s headlights . . .
          He let me lead him around to the back, and at my request he lay down on the stretcher and let me immobilize his head. He didn’t react to being strapped down, or to the rear doors slamming, or to Heather putting on the siren long enough to get us through an intersection. His vitals were fine, so keeping him comfortable during transport was all I could do for him. Privately, I had my doubts about him being okay.
          “Where did you come from?” I asked, just to keep up the soothing patter.
          He mumbled, “Cold.”
          I tried not to react when he spoke. I busied myself reaching for a foil blanket, even though I had already put one over him. “You’re cold?”
     “No,” he said, and he pulled his eyebrows into a frown. It was the first facial expression I’d seen him make. “It was cold . . . where I was.
