The Fires of Time: Stranded

but it'll have to wait. There's something going on outside. I hear sirens of all kinds. Sounds like the end of the world

    ?-?-2030 (?pm) Since last entry the world has changed. I picked a good time to start a journal. Too much happened since last entry here. 1-almost everybody in the world got killed somehow in just a matter of seconds. I still have no clue as to what has happened. I don't even know what time it is. Or what month and day. I haven't got a watch or anything with a clock or calendar. I think it is spring time. I live in a deserted mall somewhere in New York City. On Manhattan. Time Square is still there. It is dark. Just the population was decimated. Why not me? Did anybody else survive? My mother is one of the lost people. I am not going to call them the 'D' word. Not as long as I live. I consider everybody as lost or taken...someplace somewhere. Will they return as quickly as they left? Wet notebook. How did it get wet? Too dark to see what I'm doing anyway. Save on batteries. Got a whole box of them in the mall here right where I can use them in my new flashlights, lanterns, radios, all kinds of battery powered items here. Taking pics & video taping to document what I do and what and where I go. Here comes Sue. She's carrying her notebook and a lantern. She had to pee. in the mall bathroom alone. I stopped coming with her because she said she's not a baby. Whatever. Now I got to go pee too. I'll be back. 

Sue’s Story

    Unknown date. Unknown time. Here in this big dark mall with Bob. I am seriously glad I have him with me. I feel very safe with him. I’m growing on him a little more everyday. We are having fun given the circumstances. Have to or I’d be very depressed here. A person could go crazy thinking about lost family and friends. Why are we the only survivors we’ve seen so far. How long has it been since what happened happened? We’ll never know. Have to mark off the days.
    Day 10+||||||??? we got here about 2 days ago in Bob’s car. He’s going to find a nice big van or RV to travel in. Search for other survivors. There has to be others. Why wouldn’t there be? It would be crazy if we’re the only 2 alive on earth...Adam & Eve kind of a thing. I want his babies but to be responsible for bringing back humanity from extinction is crazy talk. Here comes Bob with something in his hands. Looks like a gun.

Bob’s Story

    Got a rifle. Just in case the fit hits the shan. She didn’t get the joke at first. Had to explain. We had canned breakfast lunch and now supper/dinner. Day 10+|||||? Marking off the days in notebook now. 2 weeks? Or more. Give or take a day or two. I don’t know. Those first few days I slept all day and night it seems like. The day I found Sue I realized I had to get it together for her. She was bad off there for awhile. I remember her face when she saw me. It was heartbreaking to see. She was so lonely and vulnerable and pitiful to look at. She is my reason for not being constantly down and miserable all the time. I try to cheer her up. I think I do. She seems much happier and better adjusted now. I’m going to sleep now. Nice big bed in that bed and furniture store here. Sue crawls in with me after I fall asleep. I have been waking up to her drooling on my chest or arm. She is so cute to watch sleep. Her little noises. I recorded her sleeping and showed it to her. She liked it. Her giggle is infectious. Contagious. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. Nighty night. Sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite. 

Sue’s Story

    Day 15+. It was a rifle. He said just in case something hits a something...shit hitting a fan. Why would shit hit a fan? LOL. He was still asleep this morning when I got up. Spring outside. Snow melting like crazy out there. Empty parking lot is still eery to look at. I went exploring today. Bob did to and we met up in the book store. A lot of free time to read now. Now tv or radio or computers. I remember saying the internet might not last forever. Well it lasted 40 or 50 years. Not a good run. Not for such a cool invention. The greatest invention in the history of history.

Bob’s Story

    Day 15+. Got a shit load of books and magazines to read. Last ones to ever be written and published. The last newspapers all there is to read of them in the racks still. Old ones will be in the libraries all over the world. Library books &tc.
