lap.
“Good morning Sleepyhead, or should I say goodnight.”
“It’s night time? How long was I asleep?”
“You slept about 16 hours. Your boy here only slept 8.”
“You’ve been taking care of him for 8 hours? Why didn’t you wake me up?” This was alarming. I had never even let him near Sunny before and he managed to take care of him for that long. Not only that he had apparently done a good job, because Sunny seemed very happy.
“Well at one point I tried to wake you up, but you didn’t budge. So I had to figure out how to put a diaper on by myself. It was a very traumatic experience for both of us. He almost peed on me.”
I looked into Sunny’s pants and he had a disposable diaper on, but it had been ducted taped close and it was on backwards. I soon had a huge grin on my face.
“You did a good job thank you. When did he last eat?”
“He ate about an hour ago. I somehow managed to come upon a house that had a nursery. I found some canned baby food. He likes the squash and peas. I tried some myself, they are disgusting.”
“Yeah I agree with you on that one. Where are we anyway? I’m guessing it’s safe since you’re not in a tree or on the roof?”
He was wearing that smile again “No it’s safe. I set up traps in case they come around. Plus look up on the TV. I found a backup generator and hooked it up to only power the security cameras. If we see them coming we can just go into the panic room that’s on the other side of that bookcase. I must say I found a diamond in the rough.”
He was very smug. “Wow. This place is amazing how did you know where to find everything? I would have never have noticed a panic room.”
“I’ve broken into my fair share of houses before and after the end of the world.”
“Oh. Well thank you.”
“You smell horrible by the way. You can wash up in the bath tub through that door and to the right. I filled it with some spring water. Your and Sunny’s stuff are in there as well. You should wash the little monster as well. He smells just as bad as you.”
“Ok. You should try to sleep. Come on Sunny it’s been a long time since we’ve really been clean. Let’s see if we can find a rubber ducky for you.”

The next week was very enjoyable and actually a little fun. This place felt more like home than anywhere else. I was warming up to Marcus, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t a jerk at times. Sunny was really happy and safe, which was all that mattered.
The house really was the perfect place to be right now. There was a boy’s nursery up stairs full of infant toys and supplies. He was having a blast. I had already read him all of the children’s books and he wore a new outfit every day.
We had yet to see a Jack. Marcus went out everyday hunting for them, but only ever came back with wild animals. He was an odd character. I hadn’t yet gotten his story and he always avoided my question. There was an extreme amount of mystery surrounding him and being one inclined to gossip I was very enticed. I knew it would be a good story; definitely would be worth the wait.
Today I planned on exploring the house a bit more, while Marcus was out hunting. He didn’t want me to go out. Not because he worried, but he said he didn’t want me getting any kills. It would ruin his fun.
There was a huge library on the third floor that I had yet explored. The house had obviously been decorated by a
