Bill and his people eased into our group over the next few days, and before long, the added noise no longer startled me and it began to feel like they’d always been here. The shock at discovering how much we had started to wear off as well and was soon replaced by gratitude at the newfound luxury of living in the shelter.

The extra people helped ease our workload. Even though we couldn’t go out to hunt or fish right now, once the danger passed and we were able to, Bill and Ernie, as well as a few others, would be here to help. In the meantime, there were plenty of jobs inside the shelter. Everyone ages eighteen and up took turns in the control room, and the sisters, Becky and Tracy, were learning how to make soap, while Jessica and some of the others took over the garden, and the kids spent their days in the movie theater, devouring a form of entertainment many of them had never had the chance to enjoy.

School was on the horizon. Jessica, it turned out, had been a third grade teacher before the apocalypse and she enthusiastically threw herself—with the help of Christine and Diane—into planning a curriculum. She’d taught the kids in the hangar, using books she’d managed to gather from the elementary school on base, but the existence of an actual classroom seemed to thrill her, and even the kids a little, much to my surprise.

A week went by with more and more zombies finding their way to our fence, and every day the same group of us had to go out to take care of them. Still, there was no sign of Andrew. Not while we were outside the fence killing the dead, and not when we drove away from the shelter to dump the bodies.

Two weeks passed and then three, and slowly the number of zombies finding their way to the fence began to ease. Why there had been so many in the area after all this time, we didn’t know, but with their numbers now dwindling, we relaxed a little more with each passing day, and I was able to convince myself it had been a fluke. Andrew was gone, either because he’d given up and moved on, or because he’d gotten himself killed trying to gather the dead at the Holy City. He wasn’t watching us, wasn’t waiting for his chance to pounce. I was sure of it.

By the time a month had gone by since our last encounter with Andrew, the bite on my arm had healed until it was nothing but an angry red scar. The location meant it would be more difficult to hide, but not impossible, and I was okay with it, because I was alive, and we were healing. And I had Kellan.

Another month passed, and our worries about Andrew dwindled even more, making it easier to take care of the few zombies that did find their way to the fence since we were no longer worried about who went out.
