Elizabeth's Journal, The Sole Survivor

by E.L.Hawk

These journals are written by the Sole Survivor herself, Elizabeth. Before the bombs, she was a loving wife and mother who had just finished getting her law degree. Now she will face the alien hardships of the wasteland. This story will follow closely with my actual gameplay, but with creative liberties to keep things interesting.

1. Chapter 1

Elizabeth Journal Week One: "They tell me that the bombs dropped over two-hundred years ago, but it's only been about a week for me. I haven't told anyone what happened with Vault-Tec; I doubt anyone would believe me if I did.

I helped a small group get away from some raiders because I thought they may be able to help me find Shaun, but they were less helpful than Codsworth. They did tell me about a place called Diamond City though; it's supposed to be some big city that sprouted up from the wastes. I might be able to find someone that can help me there.

Anyway, I tried to put our old house back together, but just being in Sanctuary was too much, and once that group I helped settled in, I had to get out. I didn't go far though. I set up a room in the garage of the old Red Rocket Station. I've spent too much time here just existing. I've hunted around and gathered enough food and water to last me about week, and just last night I found a map to Diamond City in some guy's cellar. That place was overrun with ghouls. I'm still trying to get used to not thinking about those things as people

I'm going to head out tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be back eventually, but I'm taking enough supplies with me to set up a new camp somewhere along the way. According to this map, it's going to take awhile to get to Diamond City, it looks like it was built on top of the baseball stadium Nate took us to on our first anniversary..."
