Starting over, rebuilding, starting from scratch. All of these words literally mean the same thing.
January 1, 2008
It is now offically one month since the event which has left millions dead was finally over.
Not that much has happened to say the least, but I think progress is being made even though if it is slow. So far as I have heard from resources the death toll is anywhere between two or three million, but that guesstamiation is only for a quarter of the United States. How many more is unclear and I am unsure that we may ever know the full extent of this event. How many more deaths reported world wide is still unknown just like many other things.
Food is becoming hard to find. Most of the water lines are down and the electricity is still gone. Oil cant be salvaged because the machines needed for it, need electricity, which we dont have. Oh and here is the best news of them all. We are smack dead towards the middle of winter with no heat. So I guess the real question is, what is the bad news right?
I guess the real question should be how much worse can it get? Like I said before though,
progress is being made. The problem with water and food is underway first, since those are the most essential things we need. We can use simple man made tools to plow the southern fields, where winter is not as bad. Maybe if we are lucky we can even get some electricty, but no one knows. We have heard some good news though. There is a refugee camp in Canada and there are about a million survivors from the eastern part of the USA. My friends and i want to go there to see if anyone we know made it safetly there. There were round ups for them in our hometown, so maybe we could be lucky.
For right now all we can do is pray that everything will be ok.

I closed my diary sighing. One month. One month had gone by so quickly. Since then, there have been other changes made as well besides having to do with the world. My friends and I talk more, mostly about what we had thought about the last year or so. It seems a little easier knowing we felt the same way from fears to hopes and dreams. Hell we even had a crush on a boy who was a scavenger for the town, which were peopel who went seaching for food and things in the world of the dead. Ok I know it sounds stupid, but even if the dead took over the world, we can still be a little normal right?
I sighed looking out the small window in the apartment we all shared. It just seems differnt, yet the same now. I wonder if we could manage this. Starting completly over.
Suddenly I was broken from my thoughts as the door to the apartment opened and shut. I looked up to see my friends Krystal and Isabella covered in water. I then looked back out my window to see it had been raining this whole time. I laughed at the thought
But that didnt last long, as I peered at their gazes. Something was wrong. Isabella nodded to me. Just a simple nod and without having to say a word I knew what was happening. We were being moved out, evacuated as you would say. I simply stared at them for a minute.
'When?" I asked. Both seemed to fall silent until Krystal spoke. "Next Wednesday. The whole section of the city goes then. By the end of this month, the whole city is going to be abdoned because of the signaling of winter. They say we heading South to help with the farming and maunfacturing shifts if we want, or they will leave us behind to do whatever we want, even though the whole outside world there is dangerous." she spuddered.
"But I thought the whole sector was going to head to Canada to the camps to find our famililes." I asked as both of them shook their heads again.
"We have the choice of going by ourselves alone, or going with the whole group, which is a lot safer. We have three days to decide and a week to pack what we can carry." Isabella added.
I stared in disbelivement. What could we do? The outside world was dangerous now, even without the dead.
It was espically dangerous for young girls alone.
This was going to be a problem.
