No, even that is a lie. It isn't what real y happened. It's what I made happen. If I don't admit that here, now, then I'l be lying to myself just as I'l be lying to everyone else every day of my life. We spent al day working, trying to move the mountain of rubble that was blocking the cel ar door and keeping Lisa and Gabriel trapped. We can get Gabriel out through the window, but only Lisa can feed him, so there's no point. She has food and water, and Mom cut up a couple of Matt's flannel shirts, for diapers. Sometimes when he cries, we hear him, and it makes us smile, at least for a moment, at least on the inside. We hardly talk. The only breaks we take are when we're coughing so hard we have to stop. A few sips of boiled water, and we get back to the job. It's better that we don't talk. There's nothing we could say that wouldn't make us sadder or more afraid. Al the food Jon and Julie got is gone. Al the food at Mrs. Nesbitt's is gone. We don't know for sure, but we can't235count on more food deliveries from town.
