Well, descendant it's been three months since my first entry. In this period terrible things have happened in the world. On the 11th of September, terrorists flew jet planes into the World Trade Centre. These Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world and they crumbled as though they were made of Lego. We watched this over and over on the television.

I shall continue to write as long as I can in the trust that we live. I hope my journal survives the distance of time. It will be many years until the world...

We are now possessions to trade and barter even though we fight against it. I will not live much longer. These are sad times descendants. Live with hope and love in your heart. Rejoice in the life that you have. Keep safe and may the heavens look down upon you with strength and..........
