Both Ronni and Lacey had been sleeping for over thirty minutes but the Marlows were still awake. Karen murmured from her position in the crook of Dan's arm. "What do you think. Is there a future for us in this world, or what's left of it?"
"There's a lot left of it, but I don't know what to think or even where to start thinking when it comes to the future. I know one thing, though. Kevin and Kellie will never be out of my thoughts."
"Agreed." Even in the middle of all that hell we had in here tonight, the thought flashed through my mind of how it was back when the twins were toddlers and playing on the floor in this very room. Life has to go on, I guess. I still can't believe we'll never see them again, though. In this life or some other life somewhere. What do you think?"
"Mmmmm ... Say, with all the confusion, I forgot to ask if you have to go to work tomorrow."
"No school Monday or Tuesday. The superintendent will put an announcement on the radio sometime Tuesday about what we'll be doing the rest of the week. It's hard to even think about school when the twins aren't a part of it. School has to go on for the rest of the kids, I guess. Did you hear Ronni say anything about whether children will be born, now that this rapture has taken place?"
"Not really. Let's ask her tomorrow."
"If
people do keep having children, I guess I'll still have a career. Old Finsterbush
will be ready to retire in about five years. Maybe I'll take some courses toward
my superintendent's letter of eligibility. How does that sound? Karen Marlow,
superintendent of schools?
"Hey, Dan, if people can still have children,
what about us. Do you want to try again?"
Dan
was sound asleep.
