Long Beach, Mississippi

We had been walking in the neighborhood for fifteen minutes, making very slow progress because of our bare feet. I looked back down the street and saw the lights from a federal police car moving slowly on the beach near the water. They were either on to us, or they were looking for some sign of survivors. In any event, Peggy and I needed to get as far away from there as fast as we could, and, if possible, leave no trace behind us. That was a tall order, but the alternative was, at best, unpleasant.

"Do you have any ideas?” Peggy asked.

"Not really," I said. "Let's just keep moving for now.” I led her onto a side street so we would not be visible from the beach. The neighborhood was showing a bit of wear under the street lights, but it was a good, middle-class neighborhood, or at least had been before the economic woes started under the current administration. After about five blocks, I saw a light on in the kitchen of one of the houses. The yard was meticulously neat, and I could see a fair-sized garden as well as a shop and a smaller tool shed behind the house. I looked closer and saw what appeared to be fruit trees scattered around the yard. The car in the driveway was about 20 years old and in excellent condition for its age. The windows on the house were barred. They were the only barred windows I had seen in the neighborhood so far.

I took Peggy's hand and led her to the door. I noticed her surprise as I reached out and pushed the doorbell.
