Chapter 10

The group sits in silence for moment, taking in this info.

Janice is the first to speak up, “So we won’t get stuck here for days, but we may lose electricity for a while?”

“That’s about it, Janice,” says Lenore. “At least, we’ll just have to wait and see. Meanwhile, I say we open up some of that wine Nikki and I bought, break out some snacks, and play board games. Anyone for ‘What’s Yours Like?’”

Janice looks worried. “Sounds too risqué for me, and maybe for the young people…”

Lenore and I both laugh at this. “Aunt Janice,” I say. “The youngest person here is Dennis, and he’s nineteen. I think we can all handle whatever the game involves.”

Janice looks a bit put out, but keeps her mouth shut. Lenore and I go to get wine, glasses, and snacks, while Ash goes to the game room to get “What’s Yours Like.”
