Chapter 13: A Christmas Gift(s)
Written from Sam Jr's point of view.
It's been Three weeks since We got our house to ourselves, Carol and Marsha moved in and We finally have it looking like Christmas. We had some decorations and we found a tree and more decorations over on the main islands, which is as far as we know free of people, leaving and dead. There are a few bodies if you go looking, but mostly people fled, or scavengers took them. Don't worry We don't dwell on the dead, this is a story of the Living.
My leg is to the point where I just have a little scar on it, Sara says it looks sexy. It really was just a flesh wound, the bullet just grazed my skin, but it was very painful at the time. Marsha says the little scar looks like a sperm, which I guess it does.
Anyway, the house is looking like Christmas, as are the other 2 guest houses, and the real impressive part is the houses we've actually got built. We've got every couple into their own rooms at lease, no one is having to live in tents. The housing has really gotten an uplift with a couple of the people we have being very crafty, and couple of the boys are really good with their hands.
I thought it was going to be a little weird with Carol and Marsha living with us but I was totally wrong. We have a bed room and they have their own room, and some nights we are all together an other nights we are left to our own device. Rarely we swap out and I get Marsha and Carol gets Sara, Carol and I mainly share Sara.
Tonight is starting out to be a group night. We are camped in front of the TV of all things. Very thankful we have generators and a very large supply of propane on here and on the main island. Okay there is no TV programs anymore and no Netflix, Hulu, HBO or anything like that but we have a couple Walmarts on the island and there was a few video stores on the island so we have a GREAT collection of DVD's and Blurays now. The movie of the night was a Christmas classic, "Die Hard" Just kidding.. It really was as stupid as it sounds a movie called "Night of the comet" Which was a stupid movie just like what has happened to our world except the survivors were locked in metal boxes for the night verses having parents closely related. We went through 2 rounds of popcorn, I offered up a bottle of good bourbon, and some adult beverages we rescued from a liquor store but I was turned down.
Marsha and Sara saying, "We got you, we don't need to drink!"
Carol said, "I'll have a beer if there is any?"
I said, "Sorry, the beer has gone past its fresh date." So we settled on some sweet tea.
