I’m damaged goods, broken so many times over I don’t think I could be put back together again. Like Humpty Dumpty. But Charlotte? She was untouched and unbroken; I couldn’t let him change that. I wouldn’t. She is purity solidified. I have not done one thing right other than her, and maybe now this, hopefully this. She is my salvation. We ran. We ran…

open a door of the dining hall and slipped inside, scanning the pantry shelves with his penlight. Candy! Always good. Ten rolls of Smarties, stuffed in a pocket. Then, into his backpack, a bag of marshmallows, two tubs of ground coffee, some Humpty Dumpty potato chips. Burgers and bacon were in the locked freezer.…
