Dear Journal, Oct. 5, 3173

It was only a while ago when I said I love being a fireman, but now I don't think I love it anymore. I'm certain now that the Mechanical Hound is out to get me. He can't be growling at me because he likes me! I think he knows my secret. The Hound probably isn't the only one who knows something. Captain Beatty also seems to be suspicious of me. Hopefully I'm wrong and everything will be okay. For now, I'm going to have to watch my back.

I hate that fire alarm now. It called me to the worst experience of my life. Watching a woman burn herself with her books scars you for life. I'm so confused now. What it is about books that would make someone die with them? This curiosity led me to make the biggest mistake any fireman could make. I have to admit that this isn't the first time I've made this mistake. I have about 20 mistakes stuck at home. This whole day has made me sick to my stomach. Please, let this day end!

Note: As suggested by Belgaer's Voice I will be uploading the entries 1 chapter per 1 week that passes in Montag's journal. Technically a week just passed between these chapters so I will end it here. Reviews are still very much appreciated. Hope you enjoy!
