Soulmate

Sunday July 19

Dear Diary,
     Last night I could barely sleep. I was so freaked out. My mind was racing. I was so used to sleeping with my parents right next door in the other room. I was used to being alone but I never imagined anything like this would ever happen. I wondered what it would be like to be the only person on the planet. The whole fate of the human race resting on your shoulders. Am I going to survive? How long will this last? As I kept thinking about it I began to get curious... If you are the only one around no one could tell you what to do, and money wouldn't be a problem. I decided I want to do a little exploring the next day, and I fell asleep soundly.
Sunday
I woke up in the morning and decided it wasn't right to be scared anymore. I wasn't going to hide forever. So I packed a backpack with things I would need and I slipped my dads pocket knife in there as well, you never know who might still be out there. I walked into town and went to Walgreens. There was a possibility that the door was locked, but it wasn't. I walked in and found the lights. They all turned on and I stood there for a minute taking in the eery feel of the store. I walked around for a bit. There was no one behind the register, I even peeked in the back where I have never been, there were no workers anywhere. I kind of needed some food for today, so I took a risk. I don't steel I don't believe in it so I felt guilty stuffing some snacks in my backpack. I went to the register and left a few quarters on the counter. That way I would be able to know if I was alone or not. I pretty much spent the whole day "shopping" but as I went to more and more places I left less and less money on the counters. By the end I was just leaving one penny. So much for exploring today.
