NOTE: First-person Account of E-Day

I haven't written in this journal for months, maybe a year, maybe more—but I feel like I should write something down today. I'm not entirely sure why I feel like I should, but I'm going to.
I never thought that I would ever write the words I am about to say with any sincerity. I never anticipated anything like this, not really. I still don't think I really believe it even though it's right in front of me. I can't deny it, but I can't believe it either.
Anyway, vampires are real. The Volturi came on the news today. Aro came on TV in a black suit and a white tie and he showed us what vampires really are.
What the fuck? Vampires are real? Really? Is this some kind of bad, terrible joke? I'm caught between hysterical laughter and inconsolable sobbing. I don't know what to think. This has never been in the realm of possibility, it was always a silly myth, a fun plot device, not a thing that exists in my world. No.
But it's true.
They're calling it E-day. E for exposure, I think.
Why not sooner? Why is this the first time we're hearing about this? Well, I guess it's not the first time. But it never seemed like something that could actually happen before.
I can't think long enough to put real questions or theories together. But still, I think we're gonna have a war on our hands. If X-men has taught us anything, the more evolved, if that's what the "TVI" are, they are going to fight for that place at the top of the food chain. Darwinism.
Well, fuck me. This is one hell of a Thanksgiving.
{AUTHOR's NOTE TWO: If you are actually still reading, I am astonished. Really and truly. Good on ya! This is taking longer than I originally thought. Oh yeah, and reviews are always nice. I like them a lot, even if you are critical. Still awesome. Thanks for reading, Reader. You are impressive. I am impressed by you, Reader.}
