Fallout 4 :Wasteland Survivalist Journal:

Chapter 1: Worry, Worry, Worry

It was just a normal day around the house in Sanctuary. Shaving after a shower, seeing my baby boy, watching the daily news. Life was great, before this, before the war, before it all went to hell. My robot butler had just served me my coffee while I sat and read the newspaper.

"Mister Jack?" He said.

"Yes Codsworth." I replied studying the article on the nuclear bombings.

"There is someone at the door."

I directed my attention to the familiar figure standing at the front door. As I slowly walked to the door I noticed a Vault-Tec van outside. "Oh, its this guy again." I said mumbling to myself. I opened the door and smiled the most fake smile you've ever seen. "Hello, it's very nice to see you again." I said in a sarcastic manner.

"Sir," the Vault-Tec Salesman said. "May I please have a moment of your time to fill out a simple form?"

"You already have." I again said sarcastically.

"Great! Now Sir, as we all know, excuse my language, the big BOOM is imminent." The Vault-Tec Salesman exclaimed. "The local vault, vault 111, has three more openings. Your family can survive the nuclear fallout!"

I thought about this for a moment. Turning my head to look at my wife Nora and son Shaun, then replied, "If it's for my families safety, count me in." He had the biggest smile I've ever seen.

"That's great, please read over this form and sign here." He said handing me a form.

I handed him back the paper and pen. "This will be great." I thought.

"Have a good morning, sir!" He said as he ran to the vault.

I walked back into the kitchen and sipped my coffee. And that's when I heard it, something I thought I would never hear. I quickly spun around to the television.

"Y...Yes there were confirmed reports of, yes, nuclear bombing in New York and

Pennsylvania...Oh my God. May God have mercy on our souls." The Newscaster said head in hands.

"Nora! Grab Shaun and run to the vault!" I yelled. "Codsworth, stay safe."

"Be back by supper!" He said, I never thought this robot was smart.

I bolted out the door and ran towards the vault, Nora up ahead. I ran up the hill where a crowd was standing around the gate. "Let Us In!" They screamed. Nora was standing at the back of the crowd. I heard a very familiar voice. Looking over towards the gate I noticed the Vault-Tec guy yelling at the guards in power armor.

"I am with Vault-Tec, let me in at once!" He exclaimed.

"I'm sorry sir you're not on the list." A guard said.

"I'm going to file a report!" The Vault-Tec guy said running off.

I walked up to the guard and he let us in. We ran up the hill and stepped onto this large platform. It had a spectacular view. The only sounds I heard were people crying, screaming, and yelling at each other. At that moment, everything seemed to stand still. Then, a bright, blinding light startled everyone. This was it, the bombs have fallen...
