BEST SHORT Space Available  In
the year 2025, the U.S. Government
imposes strict population control
measures. The law mandates that no child
can be born and remain alive unless at
the moment of its birth, or within sixty
seconds thereafter, there is space
available in the region. Believing that
the choice does not belong to Man, young
Isabelle follows the law and proceeds on
faith that her unborn son will
ultimately survive. At the moment of his
birth, however, the Space Available
counter drops to zero. In another room
in the hospital, a man lies clinging to
life. His loving wife begs for
life-saving measures, but is denied.

little Lazaro? 16 min
