As dusk fell early because of the cloud cover, the dogs came trotting past me on their nightly patrol. They paused for a moment as they strode by. Just long enough for me to pat their heads before continuing on their way. They may be useless, but they did manage to bring a smile to my face whenever I saw them. Even if it was just them lying on the porch.

There was a dim glow coming from the windows as I came through the gate. I thought it odd. Then I remembered it had been raining for days. The solar system was probably very low. Coming through the door, I was greeted by the dim yellow light of oil lamps. There were two burning in the living room. Little Bit was lying on the sofa with a stuffed bear in her arms, asleep.

Mel was sitting in the chair with her feet up on the ottoman, also asleep. She looked up at me, bleary eyed, and smiled. I leaned my rifle in the corner and went over to her, leaned down and kissed her head.

“Are you hungry? You want me to fix you something?” She asked, always willing to feed me.

I kissed her head again. “No, babe, I’m tired. I want to go to bed.”

“I’ll put Little Bit to bed and I’ll join you.”

“You get ready, I’ll put her to bed,” I replied.

As she got up, I went around and picked Little Bit up in my arms. She half woke up and looked at me, smiling and hugged my neck. I kissed her head and carried her to her bed and laid her down. “I love you, daddy,” she said as I pulled the sheet up over her.

She rolled over on her side, facing away from me, already back asleep. I kissed her head, “Love you too, Little Bit.”

I stayed to watch her for a moment before quietly leaving her room. Mel was coming out of the bathroom when I came into our room. She was carrying one of the LED lanterns. As I took my vest off, I asked, “Are the batteries dead?”
