Day 64

There is a truth I have neglected to mention. Like Sam's condition, I too am weighed down occasionally. A periodical depression that comes and goes. It makes me lack enthusiasm for things as well as making me forget to care. I have learnt over the years to hide it and build the walls we all build much higher. When this all started I wondered if I had overcome it or that it was only a mental state. But the longer it continues the more I am convinced: it is another thing uncontrollable.

For a while at least my posts may seem distant. But I promise I will not miss anything of relevance. And when I balance myself I will continue the story of my past. That Day is important as I have said so many times before.

But enough of that.

A point I haven't mentioned yet, in case you haven't found out yet. A lot of websites seem to be failing. All google supported ones seem okay, although there is nothing new that I have found but my blog. Obviously Youtube videos cannot be uploaded as they have to be processed. Who knows how long until these fail too. If we're lucky they'll make the end of the hardware's life span. So we have 5 or so years.

Another useful thing is that GPS is still going until the satellites start falling from failing systems. Just a few updates for you prior to the monthly update.

Today we had enough room to move, so we did. The world was still cold but at least we could see before us. Sam's injury looks pretty much mended anyway. Instead of straight to our target I decided to change the plan a little bit. I was uncomfortable about a few areas along the way considering how enclosed they are balanced against escape routes away from the situation. The new route took us to another village. Another day added to our journey time but at least we could find if anyone was still alive there too.

With moving fast we made it to the edge and settled into a house without encountering any Rani. We haven't yet encountered any other people either. I guess though that it has been two months. I didn't even think I would survive this long. I barely made a week. But we must hold hope. The darkness must end at some point. When it does I will finally have a good nights sleep. Without the sight of the eyes before me.

A thought has occurred to me. I never did go back for that Mars Bar...

I hope you make another day
