Alone in the Ashes (2015)
“But no one tried to stop them or harm them in any way.
Jordy seemed relieved to get through the town and Ben smiled at that. “Were there lots of kids back there, Jordy?”
“Oh, yes, sir. I used to slip in there and talk to some of them. I never could figure out why they were happy all the time. They had chores to do. They had to take baths. They had to go to school and do lots of figurin’ and such. Don’t sound like much fun to me.”
Wait, Ben cautioned himself. Don’t tell the boy that is exactly w...hat’s in store for him later on.
It was rough going for the next thirty miles, with Ben and the boy having to stop a dozen times to clear the road of debris. At the tiny town of Bakersfield, Ben decided to call it a day. He inspected a dozen deserted homes before he found one that was even halfway presentable. The home had a brick barbecue in the back yard, and Ben built a fire and began heating water in all the pots he could find in the house.
