    Summary

    In the five and a half years since landing in the apocalypse, Five has learned a lot. Some of it is predictable, like learning how to repair cars and machines and bicycles and - everything, really. Rationing his food to strike the best balance between making it last and giving him enough nutrients. Taking care of his socks, possibly the most important article of clothing he can wear. Cabin fever can strike even a person who couldn’t go outside the house for their first decade of life. How to be an only child.

    But there are the things that he could never have predicted, like the rushing excitement of playing a stupid game that never has a clear winner. The cleansing feeling of apologizing for his failures. Sitting next to the love of his life as they watch the sunset together. How to be a little brother.

    -----

    All seems to be going well for Five and Klaus, until tragedy strikes. And in the middle of the apocalypse, there is little margin for error.
