Journal of the Dead…

By. Fsfanforlife

To remember our past is to make a better future, I really don't remember where I ever heard that quote but it seems that in these times I am writing this to tell everyone of a journey that most have gone through. My name is William "Will" Wong I'm a photo journalist from L.A. now I live in what the army calls "New Boston" in Washington, a lot of people are here though not as much as a city would be with only a thousand four hundred and twenty three I only know this because I'm a photo journalist so I have to take everyone's picture for new id's. It was a few days ago when I was approached by a thin brunette she looked to be about seventeen give or take a year, she asked me if I was Will Wong I smiled and asked if I could help her she smiled back and handed me a journal I looked at it. It was a basic journal but looked worn to indicate it was used to its limit upon further inspection I could see blood little spots here and there and a large glob spread across the top. I go to ask the girl what's with the journal but looking up I see she's gone and a note that's being lead down by the salt shaker, I pick it up and read.

Mr. Wong

Please take this story and read it. He told me to give it to you personal before he died, it's his story…Our story.

I set the note down and began to read the journal, at first it seemed to only be a high school senior cussing and bragging but then it talked about the beginning of what everyone called "The Great Panic". The man that wrote this was named Darren Wright a high school senior from a some school in mid Florida, it seemed the girl that gave me this was his girlfriend and I was amazed about how the young man captured his story so well. After the third entry I couldn't put it down I read it over and over, after two weeks I sought out the girl only to find her grave. It seemed shortly after giving me this journal she committed suicide hanging herself, her last words we recorded by herself "I can't continue to live without him, goodbye everyone".

I'm writing this in remembrance of those that not only died from this journal but died in The Great Panic. I hope they've all found peace.

Just got home from hanging out with my ever so beautiful girlfriend and our friends, went to the lake so I thought I'd start this stupid summer project with today. The day started ok woke up at 11:30 this morning to my alarm going off, got out of bed and through on a pair of shorts, grabbed my keys and ran downstairs to grab a case of bud lights my dad had in the garage. As I got downstairs I saw my mom on the couch watching the news I only caught the end as I started to the garage, "Four found dead in Miami police have no leads as to who might have…" and that's when I closed the door grabbed a case and thru it in my truck. All throughout the day we all had fun drinking, dancing, swimming, and just relaxing that was until some crazy guy bit Jason (a friend of mine) we called the cops and hid the beers, the cops showed up and took the guy away the strange thing was the guy was looked like he was trying to bite them too.

Well after that we decided to call it a day, Jason's brother Michael took him to the hospital and I took Alexis home. Got home about an hour ago to find the house empty there was a note on the frig but I didn't think to read it just came up to my room and started…I'll be back I think I heard someone downstairs.

6:17 p.m.

Got downstairs to see my mom was crying asked her what was wrong she told me that dad's in the hospital some guy took a chunk out of his arm while he was working. We just got back mom stayed at the hospital, it's packed there it seems a lot of people had the same problem. About to lock up for the night smoking a cig and watching an old movie, I hope dad's going to be okay.

10:55 p.m.

Mom just called, dad died.

Woke up to a loud crash outside, sounded like a car crashed into another. I was right looked out the window to see a black SUV flipped over by what looks like an Hummer H2 but I don't know I can't tell for sure. I'm going to go see if I can help.
