Dear journal,

Day one was just as much of a disaster as orientation apparently the janitors are more mature and controlled than the cops 

I'm just trying to keep a low profile 

But its not working

When your parents are politicians your the one people vent to with ALL their problems

One kid stubbed his toe and asked me to ask my dad to pad the entire ship!

Another boy asked if I could help his peti...

Dear journal,

Oh how I hate camp

My parents sent me to a sleep away camp

They said I would be a good way to experience what kids did long ago

I hated it no tec for 8 weeks not even a diora (voice activated planner)

So when they said camp I dreaded initiation even more

But today it is here they are going to collect my belongings for screening soon I barely had time to write thi…….

Dear jornal 

I hate space food 

I hate not knowing what direction you are and how to use the bathroom

I hate what they are doing to 18 year olds

I just got my family back 

Were supposed to learn how to do the jobs on the ship

I know for a fact know that only 30% of the instructors have been on this ship before

Apparently I'm in the group training to be ¨space cops¨

At least I didn't get janitor

Si...

Dear journal

1008 people at the funeral 

There should have been 3036

If there where 3036 people there there would be no funeral

And if the world hadn't turned upside down 

I would be home

Now there is no world to turn upside down

Because of Chiron

The comet named for a protector and teacher in greek mythology

Now it is dust in a crater that destroyed North America and covered the world in smoke an...

Dear journal,

The adults are taking shifts watching us sleep 

Think well steal rations or sneak to the garden

It's their fault for depriving us of food

1 meal a day 

They sneak food out as well

At least we’re safe 

5 days until my birthday 

6 days 

I would have been on the bus to the bomb shelter with some of the other legal adults

But I’m 17 and safe

17 and already past the Kyper belt

17 and shar...

“Every year people all over the world gather for a chance to try and catch one of these elusive beasts. Hunters, explorers, seekers of glory all gather off the coast of Antarctica in hope of victory but for some just survival would be optimal…” As the news anchor finished speaking and the scene on the big TV, which all the competitors were watching, switched to a view of them, the meaning of the c...

Ten

Ten bodies on the beach

10 lilacs

10 seagrass wreaths

60 feet dug

We mourn the lucky 

This was one of my fave verses from another one of my posts check it out if you like this...

Angry

Angry. 

That's all I've felt since that day.

Shaking

Earth Breaking

Painful

Angry

I was angry at the rocks that scraped my already bruised knees

I was angry at the horrendously bad tasting plants that were my only food

And most of all I was angry at the sea

The endless vast sea that rapped its glistening tendrils around my small island

The sea that kept me cut off from the world…

Or maybe my...

Dear journal,

I can only hope 

The ledger of the lost is not complete

YET

At least my parents were assigned a ship

I can't imagine those left behind

Crushing metal and suffocation and slow poison from the underground gasses

The walls falling in

We heard the boom felt it

From millions of miles 

I swear Jupiter shook as we passed it

Or maybe that was me 

They say well have a funeral after the list i...
