How I Live Now
“Whatever it was, we stayed up at the barn doing nothing but sleeping for almost three solid days at first, only getting up to finish off the rest of our provisions and for water and to pee in the bushes.And then when we'd slept enough but needed a fire and something to eat, I suddenly remembered the bag Isaac brought to the barn that we hid from Piper five months or was it five years ago.Even at the very worst times it had never occurred to me to pray but I did now.I prayed that the mice hadn't... invaded the feed bin.
