Journal Entry for "Epidemic"

Dear Journal, It was the 22nd day and there was still no word on how long it would be till we got out. I live in a small town called Eganville in Kansas. It is a very quiet town where nothing really happens and everyone goes about their business. It is that type of town you see on TV where everyone knows each other and everyone can leave their doors unlocked at night. I am …

…not knowing what is happening with my parents. I am bored so I turn on the TV. When I turn it on I hear the reporter say that they are going have to exterminate the town so the disease didn't spread. That night I went to bed crying again. There was a big blast and a flash of light around 1 a.m. and that was it. No one from Eganville, Kansas ever woke up again.
