I sleep like the dead, literally crashing onto the twin bed, asleep before I can fully process the information Paul gave me. I wake with a knife still clutched I my hand—my brain may not be ready to accept that I’m safe behind walls, but my body had endured enough.

No one comes to get me and the silence of the apartment makes me nervous. Not the dreaded apocalypse quiet Alex refers to, but the calm of not having to be anywhere. No fights, no sharing beds, no emergency busting down the door. From my bed I see the food Paul or someone left in the small kitchen. A small loaf of bread and thick butter with a hint of honey. A small container holds boiled eggs and within minutes of getting up I eat everything, making my stomach ache. I haven’t had anything unprocessed in weeks.

On the counter I find small strips of paper that look like hand-printed tickets. I pick one up, it’s purple and in thick handwriting says “Voucher.” There’s one for food, another for clothing, and another for miscellaneous to be used at one of the shops we passed the night before on Main Street. I discover another sheet tacked to the back of the apartment door with a list of services and facilities in the town. Library, school information, church services. It all seems like a little much, but that’s probably just my skepticism. It’s nice here, and now that I’ve arrived, it’ll most likely be blown to hell.

Voices sound in the street and I grab my gun off the table and move quickly to the window. Down below, are people walking and laughing. Two more are across the street and one of the shop keepers sweeps the sidewalk. I spot one of Paul’s resistance Mutts patrolling near the theater. I press my forehead against the window and feel strangling anxiety tighten across my body and my palms sweat.

Behind these walls I’m safer than I’ve been in months, but for some reason I feel nothing but trapped.
