Act 1: The Nick Chapter

My Life Loop

Dear, Journal...

A lot happened today but today is always the same, my name is Nick well I think it's my name but anyway, I don't know where I am. Last thing I remember is handing my bat to my Friend, she calls herself Echo and she vanished when I did that. I don't remember much after that but I was walking with my Daughter and Son but next thing you know everything goes down. Zombies come out from every place and I pull out my bat to protect myself and my kids which is odd because I gave my bat to my friend, everything is wrong and things are different but also the same, my Daughter got infected by the Zombies and my son is missing too. I'm back in bed writing everything down that happened and the next day, it happened again, frustrated as ever, I smashed the room up where I was staying in and was expecting to find something or anything but nothing was there, I was losing myself and it drove me to go insane. The Loop went 10 times, I counted each day in my journal, it's all the same loop, I just didn't understand how I could escape it, my daughter keeps getting infected and my son keeps going missing, IT ALL WON'T STOP!! WHAT AM I MISSING!! I look around to check to find out if there is anything I can do to prevent this from happening, I don't even know anyone named Echo, she didn't matter to me now, I just need to get out of this nightmare! I saved my Daughter from getting infected but my son got infected and turned into a Zombie and infected his sister. The time reset, I kept my son from going missing but this time, my Daughter went missing and my son got infected. YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! This is the 53rd Loop, I tried everything but they all failed with one dying or two dying or all three of us, I'm guessing Echo is our only hope but I'm done hoping. I'm finding my own way out without her help. this loop time, I left my kids in the house and fought the zombie and everything was going great until I heard my son screaming in pain and I saw that a Zombie bit him and I tied him down away from his sister so I can deal with the rest of the Zombies. The fight was finally over and I smiled at my daughter she got hurt in the end. The Loop repeated and this time I went in front of my daughter and it hurt me instead of her and I died and then woke up, the loop is endless, I tell you, every concept I come up with ends in disaster!! It has now been 478th Loop, this changed everything, everything was the same but Echo was here with me, I told her to take my kids with her and keep the bat, and it was like she knew what was happening to me and being inside this loop!! I grabbed her hand while holding my kids's hands and we got out of the loop. I was free but was I ever free though? Can Echo be trusted? I don't understand, I'll come back to write more to update you on Echo and my kids, we are now safe in an abandoned house, it's time for me to rest.

Goodnight Journal...
