Dear Diary

I think something is wrong with the television. It only plays static unless you get a certain channel, and the channel is classical music. My mother and father were arguing about who is using the television at night. My older brother had to take me outside. He did. Then he left me outside, alone. I explored like mother told me. I found an old shed and went inside. There were axes and chainsaws. There was a godawful smell in that shed. It smelled like death. I continued to explore and found an old treehouse. I tried to climb it, but the branch broke and I fell. It wasn't that high of a branch, I just got a scraped knee. My cat is acting strange. He won't eat his food, he won't even enter the family room. Odd.
