Chapter Two

Glen Carter sat watching the sunrise on the deck overlooking the pond next to his cabin and thought about leaving. He didn’t particularly want to go, but he felt compelled, obligated by his profession, to rejoin the human race. The three young adults he’d begun to think of as his family had talked him into it. To be fair, Glen didn’t think they meant to convince him to leave this place. They knew he thought of it as home. But the more they talked about how bad the cities had become, how there was a shortage of physicians of any kind, how people were suffering from lack of medical care, the more he felt he owed society a debt and now was the time to pay.

He sighed and got up, glancing around for any sign of his fox. Thank goodness he hadn’t allowed her to become reliant on him. He didn’t want her or her kits to suffer when he was gone. But he thought he’d ask Anthony to check in every so often. Maybe offer his cabin as a retreat from the stresses of town life. Anthony liked his alone time.

Glen slid open the glass door and entered the room that served as living and dining room. Christian, Mia, and Sally sat leaning over a map on the table, discussing the logistics of cross-country travel. It had been a while since the three of them had made their way from the city to Glen’s cabin, and it hadn’t been a direct route. They weren’t sure of the details.

“I don’t see any way around it,” Glen said. “I can’t in good conscious stay here while the people in the city are suffering. But that doesn’t mean you three have to come. You can stay here at the cabin. Eric and Anthony would help you with anything you needed.”

“And we can’t in good conscious stay here out of harm’s way when we talked you into it to begin with. If we’d kept our mouths shut, you wouldn’t feel compelled to leave. So, we’re going with you. Hopefully, we’ll be able to keep you safe.” Sally looked determined, and Glen knew better than to argue with her when her jaw was set like that.

“Can you be ready in two days?” he asked. “Or do you need longer?”

“I think we can manage,” Christian said, “but why do you need so long?”

“I’m going down to the town to tell Eric I’m leaving, and to tell Anthony to keep an eye on this place.” And to tell him the secret caches and gadgets that made the place invaluable in a world with little electricity, communications, or sanity. Although he didn’t say that part out loud. It wasn’t that he didn’t want the trio to know the cabin’s secrets, it was more that it would take too long to explain it all a second time. If they ever came back here, then Anthony could tell them.

He took off for the town a little after noon.
