The whole strange thing with Jack Breslin hasn't exactly blown over, but the fact that nearly everyone in town is now sick, has made it not in any way important. Most people here have realized that we're all going; and does it really help anything to look for a reason why or someone to blame? People are forming prayer meetings instead of the angry mobs I was fearing Breslin would stir up. I've never been much for religion, but I went to one last night. I figured, it couldn't hurt.
I'm amazed that I haven't had any symptoms yet, considering the fact that right before the first cases of plague started showing up I spent about two days in the cold Atlantic. Really, I should have been one of the first to fall to it. With everything else, it's kind of a small thing, but the plane crash, while not the most horrible thing I've ever experienced, was personally the most frightening, especially watching Brandy literally burn into nothing. I'll probably rethink that position once I start coughing up blood, though.
