Date: 12/12/2001 9am-8pm: The Diary

I’m not sure how you’re supposed to use these things. I just write things as I go, I guess?

Well, it’s my birthday today.

I’m 17 now.

For some reason mom gave me this diary.

I think a lot of other kids might dislike it, but I’ve always thought that keeping a diary might be interesting.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

I guess that’s why mom got it for me.

But I have to go for now. My friends want to bring me to what I’m guessing is a poorly planned surprise party. sometimes I forget about how the world apparently ended. Everything seems Normal.

I’m happy I guess.

----------------------------------------

It’s snowy outside.

I came back to get my jacket, but I think I’ll bring this along with me.

----------------------------------------

I don’t know why I’m writing this diary exactly, but it feels important.

----------------------------------------

It was indeed a surprise party. I had a ton of fun and we messed around for hours.

Mom said I could stay out late tonight.

My friends had to go home already, so I’m out here in the woods alone, at night.

I thought it would be scarier. The moon is pretty. The lake reflects it like a beautiful painting.

It’s quite peacefu
