Nobody Knows Beau

The Diary of Beau Pickett

Entry One: Seven days.

Not cool, Beau, not cool.

The light poured in through my window. I knew it was about time I got up, but I really didn't want to. I just didn't see the point in it any more. It's not like any one would notice if I just stayed here until the end of the FAYZ. But who was I kidding; I knew just as well as everyone else that the FAYZ wouldn't end. We were all going to be trapped in this dome of nothingness until the day we all die of starvation. Everyone knew that, but not everyone would admit it to themself. But I accepted defeat a while ago. Before the FAYZ even. We are all born, we all live and then we all die.

I rested open- eyed in my bed for a while before the hunger kicked in and I decided it was time to pull myself out and rummage around for some food. In the kitchen I found a can of green...green, well honestly I didn't know what it was. I poured it out on a plate and frowned. I probed the green goo with my hand, it was disgustingly warm. I held my palm out to it and watched it freeze.

Yeah, I know. Cool, Beau can freeze stuff.

Actually no, not cool. Though at first I thought the power was cool, freezing stuff with my hand. Oh, the things I could do...

Did you think of anything? Because I sure couldn't. And that was how I discovered it was actually a pretty lame power. I mean, everyone else had these amazingly cool powers that actually help with stuff. Like Sam Temple and his light, that Caine Soren kid and his freakin' telekinesis and even Computer Jack had super strength. I bet they all come in handy at one point or another. It made me feel shameful; the only thing I could really do was cool down what little food I found.

Nevertheless I ate the green goo, which so wrongfully called itself food and pulled on some black jeans and a grey t-shirt. I started to make my way through Perdido Beach to find Sam Temple. On the way to his house I stopped for a moment at the beach.

The beach was where I spent the majority of my pre-FAYZ days, sitting on the sand, sketching the ocean. Drawing was my way of escape, but now, there is no way of escape not even through drawing. I sighed and moved on.

I knocked on Sam's door and Astrid Ellison answered.

"Hello," She said when she appeared.

"Hey, is Sam in?" I asked.

"Can I ask you first, who are you?"

"I'm Beau." Astrid shook her head. "Beau Pickett," I urged.

"Sorry, I don't recognise you."

"We went to the same school," I informed her.

"I'm sorry," She said.

I was pretty sure she thought I was from Coates, which was completely wrong. My whole life I've lived in Perdido Beach, but then again, my whole life, people never seem to remember me. I shrugged.

"Well, can I speak to Sam?"

"I'm sorry, he's not here."

"Well, can I ask you something?"

"I'm kind of busy, sorry," She said and waved a small goodbye to me before she closed the door.

I sighed. Well, I have seven more days, I thought and trudged back to my house.

Not very eventful and a little confusing, no need to tell me that. But wait my friends, all will be explained.

If you R&R there is a very nice high-five waiting for you (:

Remember, time tells all.
