Tranquility

        Today we had a service for Anne. We built a memorial to her in the garden. We all had something nice to say. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that she's gone. She wasn't the first person we had lost. We lost Paladino a few days prior. We barely knew him and yet we were distraught. You can imagine how much worse we are after losing her. We had become family. Sure we never got along, but who ever gets along with all of their family. The fact that she was taken from us just as we had all reconciled makes it so much worse. I keep hoping that I'll turn around and see her walking down that road, but I know it will never happen. I'm sure someday we'll come to terms with this. I'm sure she won't be the last we'll lose. This is a new world of violence and death. Humanity must now come to grips with how little we control our fates.

        Even though we lost someone, today was a nice rest from the month of Psychs we've had to deal with. Before the phones went down Brian received a call from his mother that people were leaving town to be with family. So, this means we don't have to worry about to many Psychs. I saw on roaming the field behind Brian's house, this morning. He was probably attracted by the helicopter. I went out to took care of it, but when I got there I hesitated in killing it. I had recognized it's face. It was Brian's brother. I had seen pictures of him on Facebook. When I got back to the house I was going to tell Brian, but I saw how happy everyone was. He and Nicky were sitting in the couch watching a movie, Luna had found a drawing pad and was sketching Zoey, who talking to Raito about some video game they both like. Everyone had spent the morning, well mourning, so I decided not to add anymore heartbreak to the mix. Everyone deserved a day off from the apocalypse.

      I spent a couple hours watching TV with Brian and Nicky. We only watched DVDs because most channel stopped working, and for those still up, they were only broadcasting updates on the outbreaks. Afterwards I went and talked to Luna while she continued to sketch people. she even did one of me. She added a silly hat. As I talked to Luna I noticed that Zoey and Raito had disappeared. I wondered where the had gone so I tracked them down. I walked down stairs, and saw out them out the window on the front porch. They were sitting on the swinging chair that hung from the canopy. they were just sitting in silence watching the stars, and I saw her lean in and lay her head on his shoulder. At first I felt jealous because she and I had gone on a couple dates, but then i realized they were an adorable couple and I just went back up stairs and watched Star Wars with Brian and Nicky. Tomorrow we're gonna take bikes into town and get some more food.
