It stated all about a year ago. I'd start from the beginning, but its just to painful. I live in the middle of well everywhere. There's not to many of us left you see, not since the world was taken over by birds.

It's sort of my fault though. You see my dad is, or was a scientist. I'd help him with his experiments, and such. My father Dr. Jordan was working on a project, something never done before. The project was to make someone go simply insane with only a drop of one liquid.

My friends thought it was crazy, but I knew it would work. One day I brought the liquid to school, and a bird carried it away. I guess it just kind of spread from one bird to another. I don't really like to talk about it, well sine it is my fault that everyone i loved is now dead.

I wish I could die to. Being here without your mom to cuddle you, or your dad to help you with your problems is like your already dead anyway, so why live again? Honestly I'd rather have to fight with my 14 year old sister everyday, than be a 10 year old girl out here myself. You'd think I would've killed myself by now, but I always think maybe one day I'd run into my insane father, or my so-called mother that walked out on me 2 months before all this happend.

Your probably wondering, howhas a 10 year old girl with nothing else to live for, survive the take over for almost a year. Well I may be young, but I am smart. I carry around 2 guns, and extra bullets. Whem it's day time I go out to search for food that may be left. I only go out in daylight because for some reason the birds don't come out in the day light a lot, almost never. I live in an abanded house thats on total lock down.

It's Tuesday, March. 16, 7:46 am. I'm about to go search for food, and I turn around to something, or could it be someone following me. I walk to the thing, and see it's a live person! He looked about 6 years old, and scared out of his mind. I ask him what his name is, but he just runs away. I follow him into this old what looked to be a barn sort of thing.

I walk in slowly, I look and he's standing there looking at me in a werid, thirsty way. I reach out to him, and he takes out a knife. He starts to cry, and drops to his knees. He starts saying these unkowing words that i couldn't understand. I sit beside him, and he looks up at me, starts to laugh, then in only a few seconds he traps me. Then he makes this werid sound that sounded like a pig giving birth, and then all these birds fly in.

He starts talking to them like he was there leader, or something. When he moved his hand I managed to get out and I ran. Then i looked back to see where he was all i saw was all these birds coming straight for me, and he was right behind them.

I ran into a building, and managed to get in where they couldn't see me. I stayed there for the night, but i couldn't sleep at all. I thought all night, talking to myself. I thought, why didn't those birds kill him? Maybe it wasn't the liquid that made all those birds go crazy. Could it be I have taken a nap, in a very long dream? I thought all these things to myself, but that would be simpily mad, Right?

The next morning I went out, and I tried to get to the bottom of thias whole take over mystery. I went back to the barn, looked in, and saw the boy again, but he was just sitting there. I wasn't going to fall for that pretend madness again. Should I stay or go?

I turned and all these birds were flying around me. I go to fun, but I get caught by the unloving animals, monsters. They drag me in the barn, and the little boy tie's me to big board. I think to myseld, could this be the end for me? The little boy started to say words like he was putting a curse on me. The birds start to crawl on me, and start to pluk my skin all over.

Is this it? Could this be the end for me? I start to think to myself,"no this isn't the end". I fight, and managed to get my hands untied. I get up, I grab my gun and point it at the young boy. Without any hesitation I shoot the boy, and all the birds fly away. I go out and see birds, just being birds. Could the take over be over? I didn't really understand. I guess the liquid wasn't the reason for the take over. I don't know for sure if this is over, but one thing I did know for sure is that this was a new beginning.
