The supermarket is a beehive. The windows in the front are shattered and the hungry were hopping over them. It looks like a riot on TV. I bring the car to a stop at the entrance to the parking lot. Other cars fly past us out of the exit. A few groups of people carry bags of food and bottles of water. Some are running. Some are bleeding. I finally get to the point where I can pick out individuals instead of observing just a mob. Most of them are Jo’s or my age. I see a few children crying off to one side of the entrance and some people fighting directly in front of them. A body lies on the ground– dead. In the middle of the fight before the door, a single boy emerges, yelling. He raises his arm, and fires a handgun into the air. The piercing sound of the gunshot doesn't seem to surprise anyone other than us. The looting just continues. I feel a hand on my shoulder and my heart jumps to my throat. It is one of the twins: Sara.
