Journal Entry 5

I went to the Market Plaza today to see if I could find a pair of new shoes. Old shoes, whatever. The ones I have are coming apart at the seams. My feet wouldn't fit into any of the shoes. I guess I will wear these a little longer. While I was shopping, I overheard some people discussing the Central Bobcats. They are causing trouble all over town. I'm not usually afraid of anything, but the Hulk seriously worries me. He is so evil. People say he is that way because his father was always beaten on him, especially if he lost a tournament. I don't know if this is true or not, or if it's just a rumor the kids spread around to explain his meanness. I do know that he never seems to have remorse about his actions. He actually enjoys hurting people.

Journal Entry 4

I dreamt about being home again last night. I swear, I could almost feel and smell the clean sheets. It felt like a weekend. One of those mornings when you had a great night's sleep, a familiar smell wakes you. My mom was in the kitchen making her famous biscuits. I miss those biscuits. I miss the strawberries. Strawberry jam. I don't know what woke me.

Journal Entry Three

I take back the I'm bored thing. Bear Country held a meeting to discuss what to do about our missing fuel. The consensus was nothing. Asking for the fuel back wasn't an option. Taking the fuel back wasn't an option, although two people who shall remain nameless That we should storm. Storm Central and take it back. Can you say Matt and Jonas? We voted this down because of the possibility of casualties on our side. We decided to put in place a security team during the night hours. Everyone over the age of 12 would be required to keep watch at two-hour intervals. Our resources are few and we don't need to be losing anything else. But we have strength in numbers and we can protect ourselves when necessary. At the meeting we also discussed the up and coming festival. Like last year, we planned to have a feast, music and games. The Journal Club will be putting up flyers to announce the event to the community. We invited everyone but Central. With luck, they won't grace us with their presence at this year's event.
