Biblical Times

We make a run for it. We’d been packed for days—just the essentials of course, and Freddy, our Maine Coon cat, whining in his carrier. Hit the traffic jam on the road south. Horns honking. People driving up the sides—an exodus of Biblical proportions. But so is everything these days. Last year with the wildfires. The year before with the plague. When the flood closes in, we all abandon our cars. A human swarm scrambles to higher ground, ditching “essentials” along the way. We let Freddy loose. It’s up to him now whether he follows us or not.
