You Can't Go Home Again

Everyone escaped the fire unharmed. But the home was declared uninhabitable. Bro and Baby grew into their next stages. It wasn't much of a birthday.

The next day was Baby's first day of school. She could not miss that. Bro advanced to the next grade level.

While the kids were at school, Mama visited Papa at the house he had been squatting in. She told him that they no longer had a place to live. Papa said that his place was small, but they were all welcome to stay with him.

So that night, the family moved in with Papa. There was only one bed in the house. So everyone had to take turns sleeping and no one really got enough sleep. At least they had a roof over their heads. It was only 24 hours since the fire destroyed their home, yet everyone seemed to be handling the situation very well, all things considered.

The only real discomfort was that everyone had a spooky feeling that they were being watched...
