Lost in a fragment of the universe, somewhere on the Hadley's Hope human colony on Acheron, this journal was never found...
Day One,
Today is my birthday! My parents gave me this diary as a special present. It is very special because, sometimes late at night, I see my parents writing something in a book when they come home after work. So with this diary, I feel like a grown-up. My parents told me I should practice my handwriting instead of using computers all the time. I'm sure this is because my teacher told my parents last week that I have imagination and should practice it. I heard her.
So, I'll start by introducing myself: my name is Rebecca Jorden but everyone calls me "Newt." My older brother Timmy is the only person who calls me by my first name. There aren't many kids here on the colony, and I don't have many friends because I'm very shy. My best friend is my doll Casey. She is very pretty.
I love playing hide and seek with Timmy and his friends. They usually can't find or catch me as soon as I get in a ventilation shaft because I'm smaller and faster. They say I'm cheating, but that's not true. I know they are scared to go in there because it's too dark.. I just love being in the air ducts; it's warm, quiet and lonely.
I don't really know what I should be writing in this diary, but I guess I'll just describe what happens to me every day, if I don't forget to write.
