Dear Logan,

I miss you and I wish you were here to see what has happened :) It all started out great, fun, and exciting. I guess fun might be the wrong word to use. But frankly I don't care anymore. I'm living my dream :) I don't know weather or not I'm supposed to be having fun, but I guess that I'm not working a day in my life because I'm doing what I love...Science. I can't believe that the few weeks I've spent here has gone this well. I mean there are Bombs and such going off, but that's what makes life exciting right? Well, so far, there has only been one man I knew who has died. His name was Jonathan. He was jumping out of a Black Hawk Helicopter to secure the boundaries of a previous helicopter crash and he missed the ropes, plummeting to his death. Many people think I'm taking his death too seriously because I'm a girl. Psh, just because I'm a girl doesn't mean that I am emotional...sometimes.

There are a few things that have been bothering me: the smells, the sounds, and the retched shrieks that come from the inside of buildings. Also, the ash from the nuclear fallout bothers me quite a bit. It was the first fallout in recorded history :) best part is, I got to see it first hand. I am doing research on how it affects the plant life. But weather or not its killing people, it's a great way to see the actual results of sickness caused by the ash. I guess I'm just trying to look at the bright side of the millions who have died because of the

I crinkle the letter in the scratchy palm of my hands as I pull it close to my chest. I can't read on. Though, even if I could, I can't because it appears that the rest of it was ripped or torn off. Salty tears run down the sides of my pale cheeks as I wonder if this war was anything compared to that. I'm scared of what I'm going through; the bombs are a constant tune that plays in my ears. I can't help but wonder what the rest of the letter said. Could this letter possibly be a fake? Or did this all really happen?

I search through the wooden chest in which I found the partial letter. I'm looking for more envelopes with the same address on it, or scraps that may have ripped off the note. I'm just hoping that I can find it.

Please tell me what you think :) I know this chapter is SUPER short, but I'm just trying something new. At least though its over 400 words. Thank you so much for reading! and Please Review so that i can stick to a good plot. Have a wonderful day :)
