WELCOME, ONE AND ALL, TO THE DARK AGES!

Again.

            I mean, the first Dark Ages was called that because very little is known about the era. This Dark Ages is named quite accurately because everything went down and hasn’t come back up. We didn’t have a bomb dropped on us, (as far as I know), or get wiped out by the plague or a zombie horde. The world just sort of stopped. All at once. No electric, no running water, no petrol, no gas. Nothing works. Including my brand new iPhone Alpha. Bloody thing cost a fortune and now it’s dead. Finito. Ca-put.

            I guess we could have been hit by an EMP, but I doubt we’ll even know for sure.

It’s taken us over a year to get our shit together. It’s why I’ve not written in my journal for a while – been trying to help my Dad keep the village from falling apart. I think the grown-ups thought the army was going to swoop in and help restore order. That didn’t happen. So, we sorted ourselves.
