October 27
It's been three days since I've seen anyone. I found this notebook, and decided to keep a written record of what's happening to me. Serene Falls seems to have been completely abandoned. Doors are open. Lights are on. Clothes are still in people's closets. Money is still in cash registers in stores. None of the food in town has gone bad. There's been a haze slowly forming since yesterday. I've been looking for answers. Haven't found much. Some religious nuts were writing about the end of the world. Weird stuff. Televisions, radios, computers and telephones are all totally silent. Not even static. It's like power's been cut, but lights and everything else still work. I'm gonna take another look near the waterfall.
The waterfall is surrounded by candles. I thought I heard a woman singing a lullaby, but couldn't find where the voice was coming from. I'll look around more, tomorrow.

There was a strange young boy hiding in my apartment. He looked agitated, and asked me to take him away from town. The kid was babbling about eternal day, and sinners being turned to ash. He was terrified of something, and in a big hurry. Before I could help him, my radio and TV faded in to static, with weird background noises. I think I forgot to turn them off, when I was checking stuff earlier. Dunno why they came back now. The little boy panicked at the static. He yelled that they were coming for him and ran off. I haven't been able to find him since. I've had this weird feeling of being watched, though. I think someone's following me.
I decided to look for the kid at the edge of town, thinking maybe he tried to leave. Every road out is blocked, like someone demolished the exits. My car radio's started picking up that weird static, on and off. The town's getting hazier. It's getting really hard to see. The fog seems to be coming from the river that feeds the waterfall. I'm gonna check it out.
This is impossible. The river is flowing backwards!
