Dear Diary,
It's starting again. The nightmares seem to be worse than before. Every time I close my eyes I see their bodies strewn across the yard or across the living room, and the blood splattered everywhere. I can't make the images go away, and I don't know how much longer I can take this guilt.
I'm starting the new school today. I hope to be able to stay longer this time, but hope sometimes seems to get me nowhere. This will be my third school this year. I wonder when we'll ever stop moving place to place. Maybe if they find a good place we'll finally settle down and stay in one place. I hear Lily calling. Wish me luck. I know I'll need it.
