The Greenland Diaries: Day 15

My house hadn’t been bothered while I was gone. The doors were still locked and the windows still intact. Some homes that had been fine when I left were now pulverized. That type of destruction didn’t match the method of the monsters. Could it be something new? Luckily, my house is covered by the tipped maple tree, so it looks destroyed. But that didn’t stop them a week ago. They came inside. 

I’ll never forget the weight on the ceiling.

It felt good to be home last night for the drumming, even if I was crammed beneath the stairs. There were no screams or explosions, just the constant shaking of my house. Not a single shadow blocked the moonlight that fell into the basement.

I spent most of the morning consolidating supplies and refilling water. Plumbing still works, but nothing else does.

Every day has been muggy and hot. Snowy and I have been drinking water nonstop. We’re going to need more containers, but I don’t want to ransack any houses or spook someone holed up with a gun.

I still have plenty of dog food for Snowy, but all I have left for my food are pantry goods. I have plenty to last me, but I’m tired of them. Everything tastes like metal now. 

I went down to talk to Gerald this afternoon. He was really happy to see me. He actually cried a little bit. We talked about what I had noticed with the monster, the army, and the survivors. The army had plenty of weapons but needed more hands. Gerald knew this, but he doesn’t trust them. He said that they tried to recruit him and a few other people living around here. After that, almost everyone left. Only he and I were left in the five-block radius. As he told me this, I noticed a hint of depression on his face.

I changed the subject and showed him the guns I’d found. He knew how to shoot the pistol, but not the M16. The recoil and sound knocked him off his feet and sent the bullets into someone’s second level window. 

We laughed the rest of the afternoon.

Day 14 of my Greenland Diaries. Apocalyptic horror, monsters, found journal, and much more. Read it. If you're always wondering what the monster is, and have to know, well, you've come to the right place.

I've long said that becoming a father woke me up from this trance like trauma state that was my mind. However, that doesn't mean I wanted it be this experience that snapped me into the present. It has put too much pressure on my sons.
