Excerts from John's Journal:

November 6, 1983

I buried my wife today. Even as I write that down, I don't believe it. Last week we were a normal family...eating dinner, going to Dean's T-ball game, buying toys for baby Sammy. But in an instant, it all changed...When I try to think back, get it straight in my head...I feel like I'm going crazy. Like someone ripped both my arms off, plucked my eyes out...I'm wandering around alone and lost and I can't do anything.

Mary used to write in these books she kept by the bed. She said it helped her remember all the little things, about the boys, me...I wish I could read her journals, but like everything else, they're gone. Burned into nothing. She always wanted me to try writing things down. Maybe she's right, maybe it will help me remember to understand.

November 13, 1983

Nothing makes any sense anymore...My wife is gone, my sons are without their mother...the things I saw that night. I remember hearing Mary scream, and I ran, but then...everything was calm, just for a second - Sammy was fine - and I was sure I had been hearing things - too many horror movies too late at night. But then there was the blood, and when I looked up, my wife...

Half our house is gone, even though the fire burned for only a few hourse. Most of our clothes and photos are ruined, even our safe - the safe with Mary's old diaries, the boys savings bonds, what little jewelry we had...all gone. How could my house, my whole life, go up like that, so fast, so hot? How could my wife just burn up and disappear?

I want my wife back. Oh God, I want her back...
