*Three brief entries in different perspectives of the three siblings (#1 oldest sister, age 18; #2 brother, age 13; #3 youngest sister, age 5) about to continue their adventure into the wilderness of a world they have fallen into.

#1 June 30 (I think)

Dear Diary,

I sometimes wonder if I made the wrong decision. As the oldest, I should have been more responsible, right? It felt like I was following my heart instead of my head, but at the time, it didn’t sit right with me to stay with a bunch of people we barely knew rather than continue to travel with the friends we have gotten to know. Everyone has been a great help in their own way, even more so with my kid brother and sister to take care of in God-knows-where…but they agree with me too, even if half the group does not. Whatever the danger, it can’t be worse out there than it has been before.

Right?

Yo, it’s me!

It’s crazy how much time has passed, and we’ve only just started climbing these mountains! It’s getting freaking cold up here. I can see snow up here now…in the middle of summer! This is definitely not America, I’ll tell ya that!

Can barely hold my stuff. Keep getting headaches and stuff.

Keep wondering how long it’ll take before we cross these mountains. Gotta stay close to my friends and my sisters.

Getting better with my archery, when I can get a better grip of the bow. Wish the Dude of this group would get off my back every time I so much as step the wrong direction, like something’s gonna jump out and bite my my leg off! I swear, he’s sounds like my dad sometimes. It’s really annoying.

Gotta go get some sleep. Long road ahead and all…

Deer Diarry

We were walking the moun-tins for days. It was so pretty and now it is so scary.

It is cold and rains and there is giants and earth shakes and thunder and lightening.

We are safe in a cave now. The giants cant get us here.

I hope we make it to the other side of the moun-tins.

Love L
