Susan sat up a little higher against the cabin, the kids were still asleep, and looked at the sun still low on the horizon. The last three days had been peaceful, almost nice enough that they could all forget about everything that had happened. The Nancy-Grace had performed as advertised; there was plenty food and water; Sophia and Marcel had been full of life and laughter… just so hard to imagine, in this setting, the crumbling society on land. The land she could easily see from her position on deck. It was the end of everything. Zombie kids and infected adults. But all she saw was blue water and an even bluer sky. It was amazing how distance made terrible things sink into the background, become white noise, easily ignored. Taking a drink of desalinized water, Susan focused on the bobber for a while and then looked at the shoreline. They had stayed close in case the weather went bad and they needed harbor, but so far no emergencies had arisen. They hadn’t even seen a single soul at the marina, nothing to spook them further out into the ocean.
