Nightvine's eyes opened up at long last. To his surprise, he was actually in his bed in his own room. He got up, went to his bathroom to brush his teeth and comb his mane, and ventured into the kitchen to get himself something to eat.
Usually, the cabinets were brimming with dried fruits and canned preserves from the garden. Usually. This time, they must have all been donated to the local soup kitchen because every last scrap was completely gone. Even the most fresh fruit was missing and the potato and onion baskets were bare.
Nightvine's parents were particularly generous with their food. They must have kept enough food for their supper that evening and donated the rest. Even the bread box was empty. Either they moved and didn't tell him or there were serious runs to the farmer's market in order.
No place he knew of would be open. He'd have to go find someone just as nocturnal as he was if he hoped to find something to eat. Nightvine couldn't go on any trek without having a good meal first. But this time... his trek was to find a good meal.
He took his burlap cap and a satchel, shut the door behind him, and left to find food.
Were he a smart little Phony, he would have left a note. But he never did.
