    About this ebook

    A series of diary entries through the eyes of a young girl as she tries to survive the end of the world.

    "I want to praise the writers for doing a great job at expressing Kellie's thoughts and mixed emotions. I realize that someone so young and inexperienced who is forced to survive and deal with complex situations will have inner turmoil to deal with as well. Kellie's Diary definitely gives the reader an insight into the complexities of such a young person's mind." - M.H.M., Amazon review

    Freed from captivity, and reunited with Sarah and Jonathan, Kellie finds there's no limit to the surprises hell has in store. She must face her inner demons in order to find her sister in time.

    CONTENT ADVISORY: CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE AND SITUATIONS, DISTURBING AND VIOLENT EVENTS, AND REFERENCES TO DRUG USE. READER DISCRETION ADVISED.

    Thomas JennerOriginally from Los Angeles, California, currently living in Austin, Texas. Tom's unique imagination runs at high speed, as if entire universes reside within it. He approaches storytelling based on what it would look like as a movie rather than how it should read in a book, which gives his stories an interesting flow - different than the norm but still gripping on the mind. He cites his main inspirations as The Matrix, Resident Evil, Doom, Mission Impossible, Stargate, 24, The X-Files, and The Walking Dead. His most recent hobby is building computers.Angeline JennerArtist by trade, writer on the side, rock star in the closet. Angeline has a wide spectrum of interests: music, art, cooking, computers/technology and gaming to name a few. She has been involved in digital art and graphic design since 2006. Graduating in 2013 with a BS in Computer Animation and Game Art, she has committed herself to digital art and uses that passion to help bring her projects to life. She helps maintain the visual appeal of storytelling through the use of 3D modelling and painting; her belief is that art tells stories just as well as words do.

      Kellie's Diary #6 - Thomas Jenner

      CHAPTER 1

      December 31, 1999

      Hey Barbie. Looks like I lost track of time again. I’m still having some withdrawal fits, but they’re nowhere near as bad as they were when I first got out of the Pit. Time always slows way down whenever I have a fit. I’ve been spending most of my time trying to rest, but I still have a hard time sleeping. My nightmares are back, and for a while they were getting worse. But the weird thing is I barely remember them when I wake up, and then a few hours later it comes back to me really hard. It kind of fucks up how I think. At least they’re just dreams.

      So yeah. I’m just thinking back a lot right now. That first week out of the Pit felt like a roller coaster. Like, a bad one. As soon as I thought I felt better, my day turned crappy, but then I was okay again. I threw up everything I ate, which wasn’t much anyway, but if I didn't eat I felt like my stomach was turning inside out. I have no clue how long I’m gonna have to deal with this, and it’s driving me a little nuts.

      I can’t stop thinking about Lydia. If she’s still alive, she’s in serious trouble, and who knows what Victor’s doing to her right now. But it’s been months since I’ve seen her! She could be long dead for all I know.

      I know, I know, I have to stop thinking like that. I need to stay strong for her. It’s just getting harder every day. Then again, Victor isn't the type to just kill you. If he has any ounce of caring for you, he makes you suffer long and hard before finally killing you. And sometimes, you still die really slowly.

      Damn it, I always get torn on how I feel. Of course I don’t want her dead, but I don’t want her to be in any pain. The problem with Victor is that it’s only one way or the other.

      I still wonder if anything I remember about Victor and The Pit is even true. All that crap I was drinking, smoking, shooting up... who knows how much of it really happened. Sometimes I can think clearly, but then five minutes later it feels like a bad dream.

      Anyway, I think I’m done rambling, so let me tell you what’s going on right now. I have to go back to Victor's town. Calm down, I’m trying to explain. I don’t like this idea either, just listen. It’s the only place we have a chance of finding some clue of where Lydia is. Look, my head went dizzy when Sarah told me about it last night. I think I froze for a minute because she had to shake me to get my attention again. She kept trying to remind me that we would have Jonathan, Joe, Luis and Helen with us for the trip. Jonathan’s already gone ahead with a few others from camp to scout the area before we go, and we have to wait for him to get back. It’s about 1½ hours drive from where we are, which is near some old Indian reservation in Peach Springs. I figured the whole town’s been burned to ash after that night. I hope, anyway. Well, all I can do is wait for Jonathan to get back to find out what the situation is.

      I already have my bag and stuff packed – water, ammo, my gun, and I have room for you. Honestly, it took me a while to get packed – I kept getting dizzy every time I thought about setting foot back in there. Right now I’m sitting outside the tent watching the others get ready. The sun is barely up, and I kind of like how peaceful it feels when everyone else is still sleeping.

      Sarah’s the same as always, super-efficient, no matter where we go. She always knows where things are and exactly where to put them, she never wastes a second of her time. I’ll admit it, I do look up to her a lot.

      Oh, I should probably tell you who else is coming with us.

      Joe is a hunter, and he has been since long before the zombies ever showed up. He’s a skinny guy, probably in his 40's, and missing a few teeth. He’s an incredible shot, but not as good as Sarah in my opinion. Those two have been the ones going out for food. He’s nice, a little quiet, and he seems to want to be by himself most of the time. But he seems like an okay guy. Usually people like that creep me out, but I don’t feel like he’s gonna hurt his friends or go psycho.

      Luis used to be a cop, and he REALLY likes talking. I don’t know how, but somehow he’s always in a good mood. Sometimes he tells stories of the criminals he stopped in the past. He has a bunch of scars on his face, says he got them in a knife fight with a gang member about 10 years ago. He used to have a family, but he doesn’t talk much more about them. Can't really blame him for that.

      Helen used to work in a library. She even has these big square glasses, but she isn’t some old lady – actually, she doesn’t look much older than Sarah, to be honest. She says when the zombies came, she was at work and she escaped through a ventilation system. Her family is gone too. She said she used to live with her mom and her last husband, but found them turned into zombies when she got home. She’s a real nice lady, and she spends a lot of her time learning how to do medical stuff. She told me she read books about it whenever she had the chance. Just between you and me, there’s something off about her, like she kind of lives in her own world. She’s not dangerous or a creep or anything, just... odd.

      Helen and Luis are married. Well, they say they are. They said they met a few years ago in another group, and stayed together ever since. I didn't think you could get married after the end of the world. I guess the idea’s weird to me. I thought falling in love would be the last thing on anyone’s mind these days. I guess they make a good couple – they get along great, never argue, and help each other all the time. They remind me of Mom and Dad... I think. The little I remember of them, anyway.

      I’m still waiting for the others. And I’m sitting here thinking, which is never good. I keep coming back to Lydia.

      Barbie, I needed to do something. ANYTHING. I should have tried harder. I was willing to die to get her out of there, but I keep feeling like I didn't try hard enough. Victor's bullshit kept me so busy that I didn't do anything else. Then when he took her... I couldn't do anything anymore. The guilt is eating me alive. I think a zombie attack would hurt less.

      Oh thank god, Jonathan just got back. I’ll talk to you again in a bit.

      ***

      Hey, so I’ve got a few minutes before we leave. Jonathan just gave everyone the rundown of what he saw, and it sounds kind of like what I expected. The town is empty and abandoned, except for a few zombies roaming around, and a lot of the buildings are burned up. He said there wasn’t any sign of anyone alive for at least a few miles around the place.

      Sarah said she thinks we need to bring extra firepower, just in
