"It's raining again", I hear my little brother, Jason, call from the other side of our cramped trailer.
I wake up with a jolt at the sound of his voice. A few days ago, that wouldn't have meant anything at all, but today it sounded like a death sentence.
Just to make sure that he wasn't trying to scare me, I take a look out the window, and sure enough, it's raining. I groan and flop down on my bed in despair.
"Go back to bed Jason", I mumble.
"But Jessica, I'm hungry!" He wines.
I knew all too well that when Jason started wining, he never stopped.
"Oh, all right. I'll make you some oatmeal," I grumble as I hop out of bed, "But you have to help."

A few minutes later, while Jason and I are eating our oatmeal, he asks me a question.
"Jessica, are we gonna die?"
I stare at him, apalled as to why such a thought would even cross his mind.
"Jason, why would you even ask such a question? Of course we're not going to die!" I state matter of factly.
Jason responds, "But Jess! I'm scared! Don't you remember what happened to mom and dad?" He looks like he's about to burst into tears. "I just want everything to be normal again! I wish the disease had never even happened!"
And with that, he stormed off to his bed.
