Nathan's Flat

After his stint at the gate, it was time for Jack to go home. He lived in a flat twenty minutes away from Merric and he enjoyed the walk. He liked walking home in the dawn light, with the sun at his back and Wormwood hidden from view. There was only one checkpoint currently between him and home and the muta knew better than stop and check a Temple guard. His flat had been big when just him and his wife had lived in it. But now his mother and sister-in-law were both staying with him, and it felt cramped, each woman having brought as much as they could with them from their previous homes as they could.

He unlocked and entered the flat as quietly as he could, removed his boots at the door and padded past the bedrooms to the kitchen at the end of the corridor. His mum was frying eggs for his breakfast. The kitchen was small, with a table that sat only two people. He took off his coat and hung it on the back of one of the two chairs and sat down.
There was a TV on the kitchen work top, the volume down low. His mum was watching one of the morning shows.

The walls in the flat were thin and the bathroom was next to the kitchen.

Tuti's Room
Tuti slipped past to her room at the other end of the corridor, beside the front door.
Ideally, he would go and join his mother and lie down on the bed beside her on the bed in her cluttered room. A room stuffed full of boxes of clothes, shoes, coats, and everything else that she saved from her own home before the church had taken it.
