It's been a while.

I'm sorry.

But I'm not dead.

I sort of wish I was, though.

We lost a lot this past week, something with the water supply.

My dad put them down and I'm pretty sure it was the most awful thing i've ever experienced, and I?'ve been through a lot.

My dad sort of founded the camp. He feels responsible for all the people in it. He was a teacher... before. So he sort if feels all the kids my age are his students and he tries to keep us on some sort of schedule. We have classes when we're not hunting, but...

He tried. He tried really hard to save them but once it took them over, nothing could save them.

It was awful.

It can only get better from here, right?

A bit of a rough patch.

Sorry I've been gone the past couple of days, it's been rough around here with the rain. It hailed yesterday and the day before which knocked out a lot of the little power we have but I've pretty much got it fixed now, fingers crossed it stayed that way, at least for a little while.

Last week was also the year anniversary of my brother's death. My parents and I went to the spot he's buried and had a little... Service, I guess? They don't really talk about him much anymore but he was my best friend.

Nowadays the camp is small, like, scary small. Maybe 10 of us in all, but we're fairly self-sufficient.

I learned to shoot a gun last week on the fly, because our camp got attacked by some runners (that's what we call them around here, the ones that aren't dead yet). I'd never shot anything before, not even the dog we couldn't take with us when we left where I grew up. 

It's getting hot now, Sunday was 90 degrees and so we're having to find shelter more quickly now and we can't stay out as long. On the plus side, since it is so hot it's easier to tell when the moaners are coming because they REEK.

Anyway, I've got to go. Doing a play for everyone! Talk soon!
