The Life of Jake Ryman (One of the many victims of the nuclear fallout)

These files where found in a booklet next to the body of a man we imagine was Jake.

Dear Diary

Today started off great, it was my birthday and I'm now officially 13 years old (Teenager at last) My Mum had got me that baseball set i wanted and my dad got me a new game for my Z-XSpectrum338. My friends were coming over at 12 for a party (Even though mum says I'm too old).

So everything was going great, great food, great food, great fun with my new game, the weather was fantastic, dad was out getting us Supplies for out bomb shelter in case the Chinese bombed us. Me and the gang where just about to play baseball when the `siren' went off. My mum said we should hurry into the shelter, my friends wanted to go home and see their mum and dads but my mum said their was no time, about a minute later dad came speeding back in out truck, he threw all the stuff into the shelter and dived in himself.

My friends where crying, i don't think i could imagine whats its like to think your going to die and not even have your parents around comforting you (Like mine where). We just sat there for a good 5 minutes until 'KABOOOM' the whole place shacked and i couldn't hear a thing.

It was about an hour till the ringing had gone from my ears but miraculously we were still alive. I suppose 5 generations of improving would make it virtually in destructible.

I don't have much paper so I'm only going to write if its important.
