And then they were gone

We woke up this morning, in our new apartment. Starting to put things back together and make a go at this “life”. Therion and I are reunited and we can handle absolutely anything. We were excited to get up and help out with the eights and get this place running and have it be the place that everyone wants to live.

We got cleaned up, dressed and headed next door to Serena and Jim’s apartment.

Place was cleaned out…what the fuck?

They’re gone. But where, and why? They’ve just upped and left not only the apartment, but they left Arklay? And it’s not only them, but Father Frank and Sister Theresa as well?

Is there something we’re missing here? Where the hell is everyone going?

Were those jets that some of us saw around the bridge enough to scare people into leaving? So what if they blow up the bridge, Therion and I got here by boat, I’m sure there’s still a way out, if you really need to have a way out. Maybe Therion and I have just been out there too long and appreciate this place more than some. Some have been hold up here since it started or soon after and haven’t seen the nightmare that the world has become.

Therion and I have now taken it upon ourselves to protect the eights and keep it running. We’ve had four people come in and stay in the refugee apartment. Three of them have rented the two empty apartments we had left, the other I cleaned up her burn she had on her arm and she’s still staying in the refugee apartment.

Delphinia would be proud of us. She took me in when I needed help, and here I am at the end of the world doing the same for others.

Those girls, the ones who have come in..I see a lot of potential there, Eva, Sweets, Paige and Sy, I think all of them will contribute to the eights in a big way and they will pull their weight.

We may have lost a few, but we’ve gained as many.

This is a short entry, I hear some stuff outside, sounds like a walker and Amy is yelling at it.
