Written and illustrated by Wilson Scruggs, the story captures a tender, grounded moment when a truck driver named Len Stone helps reunite Billy Wayne with his mother, Martha, after the boy ran away—only for her to learn the truth behind his flight. The cover, also by Scruggs, mirrors the story’s emotional weight with a simple, heartfelt image.
In "null," a quiet moment of tension unfolds when truck driver Len Stone unexpectedly picks up a young boy, Billy Wayne, fleeing his home—only to return him to his mother, Martha Wayne. What begins as a simple act of kindness reveals a deeper struggle, as Martha learns her son ran away not from her, but from a school bully, forcing her to confront the unseen pressures her child has faced.
