Any, any, pen and paper.

(original, the first five sentences of a journal entry, gen, PG)

...

I don't know who you are, or if you care, or if maybe you're me in 50 years and pulling out all the stupid stuff you wrote when you were young.

I don't know why I'm writing this, what the point is, if there even is a point.

But - the world's gone to hell and we all might die tomorrow (or right now), and maybe, if I put this down, maybe someone, someday will find it, will read it, and... I didn't even know we had any paper left, and there's even a stack of pens, so that's telling me something, right?

So I'm gonna write this, and it's going in the capsule with Mom's pictures, and in the future, whoever you are, you’ll know that we lived, once, that we were here and we were real.

They came from the north, in the beginning.

Really poignant.

Dude, I have no idea where it'd go!

... except, it'd probably have a sad ending.

I think the LW is leaving bread crumbs, maybe without even realizing it. Trying to elude the invaders while an ally is finding the clues and trying to catch up. It's like a treasure hunt, and the LW is the prize, for whatever reason. (Secret knowledge, bargaining chip, has valuable artifact, mistaken identity, other?)

Okay, not my circus, not my monkeys. I'll shut up now....

At first I was confused on your use of LW because those are my initials, so it was a little scary. *sporfle* After reading it aloud, though, I got it.

And, while your idea is interesting, I think if I were to continue it, the writer would already be dead (because if I can go angsty, I’m going to damn well do it, see: most of my Avengers stuff *shrugs*) and it’ll be someone else, possibly after the invaders have been beaten back (or maybe an invader themself) reading.

*hands*

BUT. I have entirely too much else to do at this point.

Oh boy, do I know THAT feeling.

I didn't think twice about the abbreviation--who knew?--sorry I startled you.

Oh. More. Please. And a link if you do.

Re: original, the first letter

[tigriswolf]

There is probably no more, but I never can make promises.

Thanks for reading!

Re: original, the first letter

[shanachie_quill]

I can understand that. I try not to promise unless I've already made plans to continue something. And even then it sometimes doesn't end well.
