Thanks for the review, Ed! Oh, and if you wanted to know, your "grand entrance" is on Day 57. Just for your information XP (insert "inside joke" here XD)
Dear Ikko, Day 27
I have to apologize, journal; my journeying has brought a bad omen to me.
I was walking over a bridge today, and I guess I hadn't realized that my knapsack was open. I shifted its weight to my other shoulder, and this journal fell out. I almost caught it. I was so close, but it slipped right between my fingers and dropped thirty feet into the water below. I knew there were people coming up behind me, but I didn't care. I dropped my bag and jumped off the bridge into the water. While I was searching for the journal, I saw someone. I could see blood flowing in a dark cloud from his right leg. His face was pale and cold. Dead cold. I only saw him from a distance, but it was like reliving a nightmare. I grabbed the journal and came to the surface, coughing and gasping for air.
Once I made it to the shore I started shaking uncontrollably. So many emotions were rising up inside me. I didn't know if I was to cry, or scream, or hide. I felt as though I might explode.
Why do these memories still haunt me? Is there something fate is trying to tell me? I wish it would be a little clearer.
