Entry 2: Why didn’t I listen?

Dear Friend,

I can’t even explain the terror that I had to experience today! It was my own fault too! I don’t know why I did not listen. I was out for a routine salvage around my …neighborhood, if you can call it a neighborhood. When I came across a brick house. I knew I had not been there before, so I decided to go inside and look around. It looked like I was a little to late to find anything of use in this place and the stench…the stench was unbearable!!! While I was searching the rooms. The unthinkable happened. The sun began to set. It couldn’t possibly be dusk already!?! I knew I had no choice I had to leave immediately. As I turned around I ran smack dab into two of “them”

For a moment they just stared at me. I was paralyzed with fear. I began to take a few steps back. Their creepy eyes still locked on me. The I ran! I ran for my life!

I knew for sure that my life was over. This would be my last moment here in this hell. For a brief second that almost seemed inviting, then I snapped out of it! I took the deepest breath I could muster of that horribly contaminated air and I ran even faster! It must have been adrenaline because I took off out of there so fast! When I passed the edge of the property they stopped. I did not stop though, I ran all the way home. When I returned home, I guess  that adrenaline had all been used up. I began to feel terribly dizzy. I decided I should probably get some rest. I changed into my poor excuse of a night shirt and got under the covers. I don’t think my poor body had been pushed so far in my life. I was not even in bed for five minutes and I started to feel sick.

This day was just getting better and better. Unfortunately after throwing up. I did not feel any better and what was worse, now I had no desire to sleep. That is why I came to you my friend. You seem to console me. Even as I write, I am starting to feel a little better.

Thank you again dearest friend.                                                                     Goodnight.
