Now or Never
by Amazon Syren

     So this is Plun...
     Not much to see.
     We got into town — such as it is, but that makes it easier... fewer people to spot us, catch us — just after sunrise.
     We slept in an old barn. It was empty, not a straw left on the floor. But we had each other, and kept warm that way.
     Now I can see the recruiter's cart down the road, ratty banner drooping on its pole, outside the inn. Better get moving again.
     I watch Tilda sleeping a moment more — no nightmares today, that's good — and then wake her gently.
     Time to go.
