“Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways.” -Proverbs 20:30 Abigail: “It’s time for me to renew the blessings at the tunnel entrance. You need to go before it wears off,” she explains and it does put a sense of urgency in everyone. We scramble to get our plates on to Dianna’s cart and then we rush to the bunker exit. At the door to the dreaded tunnel, I find my bag waiting for me. There’s no need to check it, I know he packed everything I’d need. I look around for him to see if he is hiding somewhere, but he stays hidden very well. My music earlier must still be in his system. I’m fully aware that I’ll never see him again, and I can’t help but let a few tears fall from my eyes. I don’t notice the other four until Paul drapes my cloak over my shoulders.
