It had been weeks since we had been there, waters had receded, mud dried up. I couldn’t even imagine what occurred, what slammed into the towns and how bad it was.
Then Martin saw his well, and with a smile said, “Will you look at that? With all that rain, we will have a full well.”
He found the positive.
Then it began. Each person seemed to find a bright spot in their loss.
It would be like that for a long while. The simple things would make us happy.
Life would be less complicated eventually.
But it wouldn’t be easy.
There was no electricity, not for a while. No way to get news unless by word of mouth and there were very few mouths that remained. Medical care was basic, no surgeons.
After two weeks back in Texas, things looked up. We did things differently. We focused on one project at a time.
The country … the world had been hit by an anomaly of nature caused by man’s arrogance to dominate.
It backfired.
Or did it?
Things had returned to basics, a reset.
Eventually, once people rose from the ashes, there would be power struggles on large and small scales. There would be lawlessness and chaos in some areas. I held no fantasies about a perfect world.
We would take things one day at a time.
That’s all we could do.
Nothing in the future was set in stone. It was now all unknown. I knew that.
We were alive.
I had my family, my friends and with them, I did have a future.
That was a start and was good enough for me.
