“Wiped clean like a broom to the past,” he said. “It might take some time, but life here will return to normal. There are still Lurchers out there in this jungle, and we have to be careful, but we will find them.”
“But not tonight,” Liz said.
“No, not tonight. Tonight we’ll go to the cove and sleep.”
They turned and made their way back up Sharpie. Ernest cradled his books, Fritz his chick, Jack with Nip in his arms, and Francis led Valiant with his hand on his neck, not needing to use the nose ring.
“How are we going to rebuild the Nests?” Liz said. “The Adventurer sunk months ago. You’ll never bring anything else back up.”
“Who said anything about the Adventurer?” Bill said. “How do you fancy living in the Presidential Suite of a cruise liner?”
Liz smiled.
“Sounds great,” she said.
“Let’s get some sleep,” Bill said. “We’ve got an awful lot of rebuilding to do.”
“Yes,” Liz said. “But we’ll do it together.”
Epilogue
The apes screamed at the top of their lungs, concealed behind their leafy hiding places, and peered at something in a clearing. It was another ape, lying on his back. Rain patted his upturned cheeks and dampened his fur, sticky and matted with blood, an ugly open wound on his forearm. His breaths came shallow and forced, rasping with life. He closed his eyes, breathed in a thick breath, let out a deep sigh, and fell silent. The apes screeched for another minute before following suit and falling silent themselves. The apes turned and moved away, into the darkness of the jungle beyond. The jungle returned to its normal background noise of crickets, hooting birds and something pecking at a tree trunk in the distance.
The sounds stopped, and the jungle was silent.
A black finger twitched. His eyes flashed open, white as snow. A low groan escaped his lips. The jungle erupted into screams once more.
