Education was gone, replaced by home schooling that eventually became HomeWeb learning. Parents taught their children how to talk and type because that was all they needed. If you wanted to learn more then you looked it up on HW. That was my life.
I found the name of the owner of the journal.
Alison.
She tells of how excited she feels as she anticipates seeing her friends. This concept confused me. I did not understand why she would be excited. I was never excited when I saw my friends. The next entry made me understand.
They met in person.
My social normal was to see my friends via VideoChat. My life was TV, HomeWeb and eating. Perhaps that is why I was so horrified when I saw the starving ones. I could easily have been one of them. Is it my calling to write this?
Is that why I survived?
I wanted this to be a professional account but I cannot. I must document my thoughts.
I am alone.
How long can I survive?
