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.

The Orphans in the Woods
The day passed slowly, and Gertrude and Rohan didn't speak to each other much that day. It was quiet in the house. Rohan stayed in his room most of the day with the exception of bathroom and snack breaks. Gertrude wandered around the house feeling mixed emotions and trying to think of anything else that she should do or pack for their move. At one point in the afternoon, she peeked out of the living room window to see if the dog was still on their front porch. He was gone. She felt a combination of sadness and relief.

Rohan put the car key into the driver's door handle and unlocked his mother's 65 Mustang. He had looked around outside first to see if there were any people anywhere spying. Their house in Branchville was about a mile down the country road, alone on an acre of land, but still close enough to the small neighborhood of family houses that were built right on the lake. No one was around so Rohan sat inside the Mustang without worrying about nosey people questioning anything.
