Dear Pinocchio,

A storm approached the island a few days ago… And it still hasn’t left. I suppose monsoon season is here…

The shelter director stopped by late… I was in the stable taking care of a new horse that followed me home. Turns out they think its going to only get worse… I have duties, obligations to take care of what is mine. I can’t abandon my home, my things, my pets.

He said I couldn’t bring the horse inside the hospital so looks like I’m hunkering down here. Going to be moving around town today collecting what wood isn’t rotten and building doors for the barn. All in this rain too… I’m terrified when its not light outside… Makes it hard to see… you know.. them. Whomever they were.
