The Anders family ran through the rest of the daylight and into the night before falling asleep at the base of a tree, their arms wrapped around one another for warmth and comfort. When the sun came up, they picked fallen leaves and twigs from one another’s hair, their minds too numb from the prior day’s horrors to make any plans right away.

She’d followed him around like a kitten eager for a pat on the head or a stroke along the spine. When he talked, she listened. Samson probably wouldn’t remember which mushrooms, nuts or berries were safe to eat because they didn’t have any numbers or crazy Greek letters attached to them for his mathematician’s brain to process.
