The Orphans in the Woods
After the sunset, the darkness of the evening was evident and Rohan could feel the pressure of darkness for the first time in his life. He'd never been scared of the dark and didn't understand any of the children he'd known who had expressed those fears. But on this evening, he finally understood that fear. The darkness of this evening was both a blessing and a curse. It would hide the fact that he shouldn't be driving, yet also make the driving more difficult for him.

The Orphans in the Woods
It was a sunny day and the heat of late August was permeating in the air. Rohan had gathered the packed bags into a pile near the doorway between the living room and kitchen. He heard the mailman's vehicle drive by and peeked from the window curtain to see if he had driven far off enough for Rohan to go outside without being noticed. When he felt safe -- he could not see anyone or hear anyone near, he quietly and carefully went outside to get the mail from the mailbox and open the trunk door of the Mustang. Then he went back into the house holding the mail of the past two days in his hands. He sat at the bistro table and looked over the mail. He could hear his sister grumbling about the house stench from her bedroom.

The Orphans in the Woods
Three days had passed since Mr. and Mrs. Hamberg had died and on the fourth day Rohan and Gertrude could no longer pretend as if nothing had happened. The siblings had met each other in the kitchen, both looking for breakfast. They could smell something terrible in the air. They could see the disgusted looks on each other's faces as they both tried to bite their tongues about the stench. Rohan stared at the last slice of cheese on the fridge shelf as he stood frozen holding the fridge door open. Gertrude grabbed the last of the Lucky Charms and poured the remaining cereal into two bowls, placing them atop the bistro table before sitting down.
