Hey Bob,

It's been a while. Your cousin iBob seems to have taken your place these days.


You're quite the semi-interesting read.

I don't know why I got you out, but I am never submitting you to the Council. Ever. I am tempted to start a whole new log of journals; the idea came to me when I started to read you. Leave out all the, 'me stuff', and just put in the facts. That's what we're supposed to do after all.

Personal details are only to be included if relevant.

None of this is relevant to anything.

Do you know what I was doing around this time last year? Let me remind you.

We were going through week two in paradise post-Warlock Nightmare. I was healing, we had yet to be attacked by mermaids and I was also, very, very happy. 

It feels like years and years, another lifetime ago.

Nope, just last year.

Before things went to shit again.

I got a couple of months of breathing space in, and now here I am. Despite everything that has happened, I want to go back this moment. I'd go through it all again for one more day of this. Just us. The ocean. The sun. 

Who even are those people in this photograph? 

He doesn't even exist anymore.

Do I? 

I may look the same, but I am not that girl. I look at this picture and see kids, stupid foolish kids who think the worst of it is over. Well, at least one of them does. The other is hiding a massive secret and when that comes out, it all comes out. 

Nothing is the same after that.


I don't know if it ever will be again either...



Look after them Bob. I need to know that they still exist somewhere, even if it's just in a photograph, glued to the pages of my diary.
