the orphan, the bunker Alex, 2024-05-102024-05-17 Things took a strange turn. I’m not gonna lie. Okay first off to be clear the kid in the video is not the “orphan” which is what he wants us to think of him, the kid Squirrel dragged out of the woods. Gabriel, or Raphael, or Michael, he’s given three names so far, was driving the second truck that other kid jumped out of and we never saw him dive out the window when the shooting started. He’s been a good thing to have around. We got several kids that are on the spectrum, Dyl’s great with most kids but he struggles with them and I can sort of connect but not like Arch which is what decided to call him. I mean, okay, we’re all pretty versed in our awful Christian history to know he’s just tossing out names of archangels, and whatever his past is, it wasn’t good, the night terrors give all of us night terrors so he sleeps with me, Squirrel, Dyl, Matt, or Aiden randomly. Arch is super awesome with our spectrum kids. They’ll eat his food and talk to him when we had a hell of a time doing that before. As near as we’ve been able to put together he’s from the South somewhere, he had a brother or a nephew who was spectrum he got left to take care of until the stepfather came into the picture and started shooting. And he really kind of seems like he’s on another plane. He gave grampa a big ass list of supplies we need to have every few weeks and he’ll make most of the food, which okay I thought me and Matt were doing pretty good until I tasted his cooking. Like holy fuck, if you think dealing with a trans kid is tough try a vegan. But now we’re getting some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life, and there’s options for the vegan kids but also stuff made for the spectrum ones who I guess texture freaks them out, I don’t really get it, Arch is trying to teach us. But honestly, his cooking is so good spikes in it wouldn’t bother me, yeah, it’s spicy, I asked him to make ours more spicy. While grampa went to get the stuff, he asked Lucas if he wanted to go out with him and take photos of him. And Lucas is a little younger but that kid is also super helping out, he’s good at getting the other kids to mind, we got him his own room but he likes to cuddle with one of us sometimes. He printed out a ton of photos of our family of kids and if there’s anything that can make the concrete walls of the bunker seem warm that’s it. Everyone loves Lucas, and honest he’s just been staying with me past couple nights. Idk where this is going but his hugs make me sleep so good. I kinda think we’re boyfriends, well, one of several, and yeah I’m confused a bit but really not. I see clear for the first time more than ever obviously I like boys but it’s different with all of them. So, we are in a bunker and yeah that’s stress especially for some of the younger ones. I mean, we got food, we got like four TVs for Netflix or PS5 or XBox, all of us are trying to give everything to keep the others comfortable. And something weird’s happened like over the past few days everyone’s taking care of each other if they need it. Aiden stands up when we’re all in the room, yeah Lucas, too, he kinda asked to be part of the inner circle trying to figure out what the fuck we’re doing. He’s not saying shit and me, Matt, Dyl, okay all of us look around and our first group has doubled. Obviously Arch, he does seem to have magical powers in several departments, Lucas is good with tech stuff, but really his biggest contrib I hope the others see is his photos stuck everywhere make this place feel like home, Squirrel, idk, that kid seems to be good at basically everything we’re not, Aiden, yeah he plays soldier but just spend one night with him and you’ll see what it’s like to feel the best things humans can do and the worst they can experience. And Arch, okay he’s made us food and drinks cos I told him we were gonna all be trying to get organized. None of us core kids are vegan or weird about food so he’s got a Mexican spread with quesadillas, tacos, shit you name it, and it’s so good, but he’s made us mountain margaritas using the shine and cilantro and that’ll knock anyone on their ass. I’m not even fucking kidding, I’ve never had such good food and he did let slip to me the reason he’s so good with spectrum kids is the nephew but also he lived in Thailand when he was younger.
