With the odds stacked against them the young couple knew that they needed to prioritize survival over everything else. That meant finding food, water, and shelter before they could have any thoughts of forming a plan to return to normal. Erica's pregnancy made a perilous journey even more dangerous and Cody was not willing to risk her or his child's life for a long shot right now. It was a hard pill to swallow for sure but one they begrudgingly accepted.
Cody and Erica started to trek through the carpeted floor. While the soft surface had protected them from Debbie's pounding steps the now it was like hiking through untamed overgrowth in the wild. Cody stopped every time Erica needed help moving through. Cody could see how much their journey was taking a toll on her by the redness in her face and the sweat dripping from her forehead. He wanted nothing more than to find somewhere, out of open and safe for his wife to get off her feet and rest.
The two eventually reached the edge of the carpet that extended underneath the couch. In the darkness their eyes fell upon what at first they thought was a mirage, the opening to a large cave. The couple noticed a change in the air surrounding the cave entrance. It became humid with a stale smell. As they moved deeper and took in more of the structure's details, the white fluffy floor with a faded number 6 in the center and the omnipresent smell, it became clear that this was no cave. They had wandered into one of Erica's slippers. One of the very same the slippers that Erica had been wearing earlier this morning but had casually been kicked under the couch.
The couple was not deterred even with the true identity of their revealed. Cody was somewhat amused that his wife's penchant for having cold feet in the morning would provide them shelter. Meanwhile Erica was embarrassed especially when she got a good whiff of the inside. For now it would have to do and the pair moved deeper inside to figure out their next move.
