Your supplies are running low and it's eerily quiet outside. There is still no power , no phone and minimal information. How are you and your family doing????? | | From: Qyzida | Sent: 6/2/2007 4:42 PM | Sun didn't seem to rise this morning and a cold wind was blowing, but not as bad as a couple days ago Food starting to run short, but the goats and chickens are still providing milk and eggs. Good thing I learned how to make torillas from scratch when I was married to my first husband, have to work out some means of baking, solar oven is usless with no sun. Dirty clothes are piling up, showed the kids how to use a washtub and wash clothes by hand. Hung them up in the house because of the ashy dust outside. Still no word from Stewart Got a few words on the radio, but nothing that made sense. Old Lady Getz doesn't look good. She has been quiet all day and just stares out the window. | | From: MystikalSummerStarr | Sent: 6/2/2007 5:52 PM | | We have run out of water. I need to go to the creek to get some more. As me and one of my children venture down to the creek we run into neighbors doing the same thing. We talked for a bit and we decided we should all get together in one building to pool are resources. So we met at the old store building to discuss what would happen next. The meeting didn't go over to good and there was a big fight I decided to go back home and try to fend for myself and family. The husband is digging a huge pit in the ground to make and underground bunker, it is getting to hot, with no fans and not much to drink we need to find a way to keep kool. It seems to be getting darker then it should be but with no clocks I don't know what time it is. The days are five in lenght now with no power and all most no food is left. What do we do next? | | From:Qyzida | Sent: 6/3/2007 11:49 AM |  | From:PredawnLadyKate | Sent: 6/6/2007 9:10 AM | | I stay up most of the night, listening to the winds, WORRIED! Den never made it home, I'm sure it ok, he probably had to stay at the neighbors because the winds got so bad after he left which made a dark with the dust flying. It was also very cold, I did keep the wood stove running, my once beautiful dining room is not a storage place for wood so we don't need to go outside during the evening. The dogs are becoming agitated because they want to go outside to run, but with the dust I can't let them out. So I going to open a large area in the cellar for them to run today. It hard to tell if the sky is dark because the clouds are full and ready to burst or it the dust taking over. I hope we have rains soon we're use to having rain just about every night and it been five days now, will our world ever recover. What can we do to help her? Thank goodness our water supply is ok, and the spring water that is coming in is boiled and used to wash up. It's habit to get up and turn on the radio now to only here the same static, the small battery operated TV is the same. Where is everyone, how frightened they must be, I think of my son and his new wife and wish I could hear their voices right now. I don't want to think the worst but they live so far, will I ever see them again. Never mind those thoughts, I need to start this day, after getting the dogs fed and having my coffee, I look out the window to make sure it's safe to go to the barn. It is very calm outside, a good time to go. I grabbed a hand gun and covered my face. When I got outside there was a odd smell in the air, like the scent of death, no please don't tell me the earth is dying I won't think that way. As I was working with the animals in the barn I kept thinking of Den, he has to be on his way home, just then I could hear the sound of a horse. I cracked the barn door to see Den dismounting. He looked tired, I opened the door ran out to him took the reins to lead the mare in the barn. Got her settled and fed and we walked back to the house. It was hard to talk with the clothes over our face so we kept our words till we got inside. I couldn't stop hugging him, so grateful that he made it back safe. Got him something to eat, Den looked into my eyes with a sadness and fear. What, did you see anything or anyone? He shook his head sipped on his tea, we sat together at the table just holding each others hand. After he was done eating he started to talk about what he had seen. Many of the cows from the farm were dead in the pasture, two of the neighbor house he stopped at no one answered. Finally he got to Bob's house, he our neighbor that has the ham radio. Bob told Den he been on it since, he got some people talking but nothing making sense. Den stayed the night, Den told Bob that he tried to talk with the people just before him but no one answer the door. Bob said they had gone out of town the day of the, well, and he didn't think they made it back. Den put a walkie talkie on the table that was in his coat, said Bob gave it to him so they could talk and if he heard anything he would let us know. Right now it looks like our world consist of Den, our neighbor Bob, his wife Anne and myself. Den says if the weather stays calm he's thinking he should harness up the horse and take the wagon to town soon, we need to know if there is anyone else, he talked with Bob and he said he would go with him. Well I need to take inventory again, especially with the water. Night will be upon us soon. | | From:grandmomma | Sent: 6/8/2007 8:07 PM | | We are suffering but we accept it for the more you suffer the more sacred you are. Satan attacks the sacred people of our world. As I suffer I ask that maybe a little child somewhere won't have to. | | From:ŞħąđǿŵЄļƒ | Sent: 6/10/2007 10:56 PM | | Day Five: Our elderly neighbor wandered out of the house during the night, while we slept, and we can't find her. I want to hope she's okay... It's really windy today, and cool, the dust is just flying around us now. It makes me uncomfortable to be unable to see out the window. No company today, I'm worried about my friend, but I know that she would make her way here if she needed help. Had another storm last night as well. No rain again, but the wind is strong, and a lot of branches littered the ground this morning. We gathered them up for the fire, which was really a blessing. I did a small ritual last night, for protection and assistance in our situation. I keep looking for a direction to go in, a reason to get up in the morning. I really wish I knew what happened, why the weather is so off. The Earth is crying out, I can feel the pain, and it sends me into darkness at night, when I let myself open and hear it. I now feel that this is it, this is the Quickening, and it will probably only get worse. My fiance and I have decided that if things don't look any better in the next couple weeks, we are going to get one of the cars packed up and leave just the two of us, and pick up my friend, and other loved ones who want to come with us. We're going to travel north, and toward the mountains. But not yet, we're going to wait it out here at the house with his parents until we feel right about it. They'll be better off without us here as well, we eat up resources and I want them to have all they need. We've worked out a system, a rythm during the day, of all the things we need to do, washing and food and such. We're running low, but now dangerously. We'll have to take a trip our again for more supplies, even though the guys had a hard time last time they went out. They had to fight their way in, though thankfully no one was hurt. We're just doing out best, trying to remain postive, and keep all of our loved ones in our prayers. Shadow | | |
