Joy is exhausted. Charlie vanished, waking up, only after a few minutes. If he’d returned to sleep, he hadn’t returned to Justin’s dream.

“Take a break, everyone!” Justin says, and we all find a spot to sit and rest.

“Darling,” Suzie sits near Justin. “What happened in your life that got you to dream such an awful dream?”

Hmm. I hadn’t thought of that.

Justin gives it some thought. He hadn’t thought of it, either. “I don’t want to talk about it, Mom.”

“I could see the zombies were about to get Grandma’s and Grandpa’s island!”

We’re heading down to the island which is the place of Suzy’s and my home in Justin’s dream. Joy is describing to Charlie how she survived.

“I went into the house. I knew that zombies weren’t that smart. I knew my weapons wouldn’t be enough. And I knew that ovens keep their smell inside.”

“So what’d you do?” he asks her wide-eyed.

The four of us - Suzy, Master Mind, Joy, and I - all sit and stand in the tunnel for hours as Justin fights zombies below.

Master Mind and Joy are on the edge, looking down at the battle.

Justin keeps being overrun by more and more zombies, then kills them, then new zombies come, and so on endlessly.

Suddenly, hours in, the fighting stops and Justin looks around.

Joy sits up, more alert.

I look down with bated breath. The little island is being overrun by zombies while Master Mind is speeding towards it with his jetpack. Joy, who was right there, can’t be seen anywhere. Justin, still obsessed, is fighting the zombies on Bonnie’s Revenge, which is now approaching the grey castle. He doesn’t know Joy is in trouble, and in his present state, he doesn’t seem to care.

The zombies below break into our home through the door and the windows. If Joy is there, I don’t see how she can survive. All she has are the laser pistol and the sword which she wears on her belt.

Master Mind lands in our garden and sprays dozens of zombies with bullets, all aimed at their heads.

Zombies fall, but I can’t see Joy’s small, blonde head from above.

Some of the zombies throw their fellow zombies upwards to grab at the hull of Bonny’s Revenge, which is flying just meters above them. Justin is screaming something at them, but I can’t hear what. He is obsessed by his dream, just like Joy said.

Even as the zombies crawl up the hull, Master Mind leaps off the deck and jumps hundreds of meters back to our island. I can’t believe he can do that.

Master Mind lands accurately next to me.

“There was only one jetpack, Little Pirate,” he hands it to her. “Save yourself.”

It’s been a few weeks since Joy’s seventh birthday and Justin appears on the deck of Bonnie’s Revenge.

Joy is on the island with Suzy and me. Master Mind is on the ship.

“Justin!” Suzy calls out to him. “We need your advice on something.”

Justin goes to the ship’s wheel as if he hadn’t heard his mother.

Land appears in front of the island and, in its center and not too far away from us, sits a grey castle.
