The Quiet Year - Week 6

They call her Scarlet. She talks to everyone, emboldens them with a vision. The Route is dying, she says. We need to find out what happened. With a pickup truck from the graveyard the community begins to gather supplies for an expedition far from the town, to get to the next settlement and find out what happened. Such an endeavor will take more than a month-- not only to fix the broken truck, but to gather food, water, and fuel for the journey.

While she and her followers work, other talk. Should this expedition be allowed?
