Chapter Fourteen-Rex

That was full on terror. Thirty three minutes of pulse pounding terror and now we have to do it again and again and however many more times it takes to move the supplies. It’s so dark. Not like dark were you can stumble around and find your way dark, like can’t see my hand in front of my face dark. The only thing that guided us was two small flashlights that still work, one at the front of the line and one at the back.

The trailers weren’t that hard to pull once we got them moving but my shoulders and back say different now that we’ve stopped. We’re in a house behind a house. Lance’s friend who invited him up north owns this huge monster vacation home in town. It’s where he would have stayed when he came up in November for the bow hunt. We aren’t staying in the monster house but the original home that was built on the property. His friend told him the story of how the property originally belonged to his grandmother who passed it down to him when she died. He wanted something new and modern but the original house on the lot was where his mother grew up so he restored it as a guest house for her and built the new one in front of it. The reason Lance picked it out for us to stay in is because his friend kept all the old fashioned features like the three wood burning fireplaces, hand pump in the kitchen as well as the wood fired cook stove, alongside of the modern plumbing and heating. He said it was charming. For us, it means well water and heat. It also has the bonus of being set back from the road and hidden by the main house which is surrounded by a fence with a gate.

My hands and feet are numb with cold by the time we unload the last trailer and all I want to do is crawl under a blanket and sleep, but there’s no chance of that happening with all the supplies that still have to be moved.

Marsh’s Dad, Ethan seems like a good guy. He’s doesn’t seem to be as hard as Lance but that might be because he’s sick. The guy has a pretty bad infection of some kind but he still kept trying to help us unload until Lance put him in charge of Matty. He must be good with kids as Matty fell asleep in his arms pretty quick, or it just might be that its hours after his bedtime and the heat from Ethan’s fever made him sleepy.

I’m just grateful he’s here to watch my brother while the rest of us make the trips back and forth from the store. They both sleep through our coming and going four times but Ethan comes out of the bedroom on the fifth trip and demands that we stop. It might be because there’s a hint of light in
