I am currently in my bomb shelter, that I built many years ago as a child, all alone. Actually I take that back I'm not alone because I brought Mat my Mr. Handy. I'm glad I put enough food, water, and fuel to last about thirty years. But the only entertainment I have is Mat and the terminals I have installed in the shelter and the one I installed in Mat. Well I definitely wasn't expecting China to bomb us, well nuclear winter sure is going to suck. Well at least I have Mat to talk to so I don't go insane.

Well it's not as hot as it used to be which is good I guess. Mat is still running fine and so is his charging station. Matt is just as worried as I am if not more than me, I don't know why he would though he is a robot. Due to the lack of entertainment I just keep eating so I'm running out of food a lot faster than I was originally supposed to, well I'm glad Mat doesn't need to eat. If we weren't bombed I would probably be having a Halloween party with all my friends, I hope they are all okay.

Its starting to get colder and so my terminal I have in my shelter is messing up. I forgot about my uncle, I hope he is okay, last time I saw him he went to work. Mat and I have been playing card games and games that I have on my terminal, and we have been listening to the radio with songs like Blue Moon, Atom Bomb Baby, It's A Sin, and The Wanderer. I'm almost halfway through my food but I still have plenty of water and fuel. I keep thinking about all of the fun I've had with my life but I'm not sure how long it will last anymore.

It is much colder than it was before so I can't do many entries which isn't good because reading and writing helps keep one's sanity. Well actually I still have Mat so even if the terminal breaks I can still have social interaction. I wish I could just leave but I probably shouldn't since it's probably not safe. I have only like 10 things of food left. But I still have plenty of water and fuel left which is good since you can last longer without food than water.

It's been getting warmer down here since the heat is getting trapped in. Lately I've been to lazy to make terminal entries and I don't understand why. I am out of food and I have been for a while so I've been eating the containers for the food, cardboard doesn't taste that bad except that it is really dry. Mat and I have been talking a lot more than before and we have been having a good time due to telling jokes and stories. Since I've been so bored I've been teaching myself coding and lock picking skills which are really useful...probably.

It's a new year, if this hadn't have happened I would be partying with my friends to celebrate, Well at least I have Mat with me. I'm getting some what low on water due to eating only cardboard which I'm also low on. I'm starting to get really bored again how bad could the outside world actually be. I honestly can't believe I haven't left any sooner, being cramped in 10ftx10ft room honestly sucks. I think I might leave today, right after I get bundled up and gather all my courage.
