Location: Apartment O-213, Omega floor,

The Palace Residences

Date and Time: September 26; 10:00 am

I sat on the sofa in front of the TV, trying to calm myself down. I sat

down there and I still had worry and anxiety in my head. They were

chills that ran down my spine every time. At the tempered glass table in

front of me sat a glass of water and my phone. I had been sitting there

for around five minutes without doing anything. I just sat there and

calmed myself down.

I was wearing a simple, black athletic shirt and comfortable denims. I

also wore rubber shoes so I can comfortably do physical stuff. I wore a

rubber Timer watch on my left hand and a small, leather bracelet with a

very minute, silver falcon as a pendant.

The faces of Rence, Connor and Gwen eventually popped inside my head.

Then, I thought of my brothers. I opened my eyes and looked at my phone.

I could call them, to make sure that they're ok. But then, they'll just

be drunk like they've been ever since that happened. I breathe in and

out deeply after thinking that. I promised myself that I wouldn't think

about it anymore.

I thought I won't be able to sleep yesterday since one, I probably had

skeleton neighbors that would just jump out of nowhere and surprise me.

Two, I just thought of everyone I knew and cared about. I thought of

Rence, Gwen and Connor mostly. I also thought of some of my other

friends and colleagues like Tim, a Computer teacher, Gia, an English

teacher, Mr. Euston, a Religion teacher and Polly, the former Maths

supervisor and the present Administration Officer.

Fortunately, I felt dizzy, tired and sick. I wanted to just sleep and

rest. So, I got a "good" night sleep. But, I couldn't shake the sadness

and worry I had with the people I care about. I don't know where they

are.

Bonnie and I didn't find anyone out during our search at the school

grounds yesterday. After Bonnie and I got out of the pantry, we tried to

look for a living, breathing and fleshy soul that was out of the bone's

clutches. Even though we had a lot of close calls and encounters with

groups of skeletons, we didn't stop searching for any other "survivors".

Then when the night slightly rose, my head hurt. I felt dizzy and a bit

sleepy too. The scenery got blurred, colors became faded. The world

seemed to move on it's own, as if there was an earthquake but the ground

wasn't shaking. It was a challenged to actually walked straight and
