About This Book
The one who was supposed to be on guard had dozed. The fire had burned low. He would probably chastise himself for it, except he would never have the opportunity to do that. He might have a split second in which to ask his God to forgive him, but he would probably waste that split second drowning in his fear, cursing, fighting, dying before he realized he had wasted his time. She was by his side a moment later. He slept on as she bent and prepared to take him. The boy and the twins had made their own choices. Her hands pinned his arms and her head darted quickly to his throat. The killing began... Candace's journal I haven't written in three days. So much has happened. A man attacked me, tried to rape me. I didn't even know him, and I don't know what motivated him. I don't understand it at all. Arlene shot and killed him. That was horrible as well. So many people were affected by it, not just me, and I can't see when it will ever really be over for any of us. Can anyone forget something like that? Not hardly, so I guess it will always be with me. But I didn't bury it. I have Patty, I have Mike, I have love to help me understand. Some women don't. Today Jessica died. She had been feeling down, ill, but she insisted she was fine. Maybe the shock of the way the world is now, what happened to me even, but we won't know exactly what happened or made it happen. Sandy said she arrested, her heart stopped. We buried her beside the highway, somewhere here in West Virginia. Not far behind us. Things we know: We have a place to go, we're going to get there. The days are still about 26 hours long. Maybe that is the new day. The destruction is widespread and really bad. We ran into a lake the other day where there was not supposed to be one. We could easily tell that as the road ran right into the water. There's a lot of skip on the C.B. That tells us there are other people scattered around the world, at least the United States. So we're not alone at all. Were just scattered. Lilly is a big one for prayer. I'm not usually, but the last few days I've been praying God will get us through all of this.
