It was six months ago today that she died. My mum, that is. Killed by some disease known as the Flare.
My mum isn't the only one that's caught the Flare. Others have had it as well, including my best friend. He died a week before my mum did. At first I didn't know what had happened to him. I thought he'd just gone crazy from the dearth of food and water but when my mum started to act in the exact same way I started to think that something wasn't right because I'm pretty sure craziness isn't contagious.
It turns out, I was right. When my friend died and then my mum I knew it was some sort of disease. The Flare. I don't know why it is called that but I think it's something to do with the sun flares that burnt the earth and created it into the living hell that it is. The living hell that I have survived in for six months with my brother Jimmy and the living hell that I will continue to live in until I find some answers to the questions I have.
