Many thing happened in the last days. So many in fact that I didn't have time to write. I'll spare you the tragic details and try keep my notes short. All adults disappeared!

It happened three days ago. They vanished without a trace, leaving all the kids behind. We do not know why or how but they managed to flee and it's chilling that we are bound to stay here. However, we try to make the best out of our situation.

At the first day a group has emerged. The majority of the children in the city have joined this group by now to enhance their chances of survival.

We checked all the grocery-stores. It is not much but it'll be enough food to keep us alive for at least two months. This gives us some time to find other sources of food.

A small group has started a drive to the nearby city in hope of recieving help from them, expecting to find adults there. Another few children started planting their own food using the fertile soil in the park. In the meantime, we created small housings for the infants and toddlers in the large classrooms of the citys schools. We still need to rescue a few from their partly locked apartments. Hopefully we will find them all in time.

The situation is really mussy. But we try our best to help the kids as good as we can. Every minute crying kids come to us asking where their parents are. It is heartbreaking to hear their despair. We hope to get help soon. But still some questions are bothering us. What happened to our parents? Why didn't they take us with them? Do they love us way less than they always pretended to do? Oh, excuse me. I was told to not be emotional.

We are using our capacities to their maximum. Some kids have gotten ill and we do not have doctors. We simply cannot recieve healthcare. Kids have occupied the library and are trying to help with their new knowledge, but for now, all we could do was organising a room for them to convalesce and give them calf wraps. We don't know which medicine to give them even though we have access to pharmacies.

Right now, a few teens are planing to turn the hotels in the city into our new home and are preparing the rooms for us to use. They brought together a group of teenagers, who own a drivers license, to move us into our designated future apartments. It may take a while until we get to move in, thought.

This was everything. I have to help taking care of the babys now. Goodbye!
