Taken from Game

The Expedition team had to retreat due to the storms. Supplies are sufficientfor now, but wont last forever. Can I afford to just wait here, or must I find another way out?

Status Report:

First status report and I don't know the damned time. I can hardly see down here and I don't know how long I slept. They say people naturally have a 25 hour sleep schedule and I've read reports of people going on a 40 hr schedule before but who can say, really?

One of the tanks is malfunctioning. I still have plenty of others down here. Though I'm not too sure how long they will last. I don't think I'll do much more diving unless necessary especially due to other circumstances.

The other circumstances being the rip in my wet suit. I nicked it on a rock when I was coming back to first base from the entrance. It's going to make regulating my temperature much, much harder and I've already started shivering. I've decided to build a little fire, but there isn't much here to burn. There should be enough oxygen to last in this little area at least. If it becomes a problem I'll snuff it.

Status Report:

FUCK.

Sorry.

I had a dream last night about the song my mother used to sing. I heard her voice clear as a bell, but I can't remember what song it even was. I could swear I heard it over the radio.

Maybe it was just a sign that I needed to check it since I've been worried about the damned thing since it stopped working. I changed the batteries on it again, and low and behold that's all it was. The damned thing just needed more juice!

I could hear them talking, Jim and the other boys. They're talking about the storm breaking! They're talking about finding me!

I'd have a little party down here if it wasn't just all the granola. Still maybe there's something I can bait. Not sure what all is living down here. I've read those stories of rats coming out of toilets in New York. Apparently the can hold their breath for 5 minutes or something! Probably not that long, but still longer than me. But then again I don't know if anything is really living down here, so best not to waste food. Especially if they are almost here!

Status Report:

Yup.

Almost died today.

The gauge on the oxygen tank iiiiiis broken. Just reads green now. Can't really tell when I'm about to run out anymore sooooo I guess I'll just have to not explore anymore. Like I said I wouldn't.

Sleeping bag got wet, but hey, I found fresh water because of it! Turns out putting it right next to the rock was... maybe not a good idea! So now I'm wet, the sleeping bag is wet, but hey, I won't fucking dehydrate! Good for me!

And my headlight is going out. Damned thing started sputtering and I don't have any batteries for it. So I'm just keeping it off for now. I'm recording in the dark! With nothing to do except wait here for death! But hey, they are coming right?

Status Report:

I'm sure it's just the light. Or something. The headlamp is going out remember? But, there's a handprint right above where I was sleeping with a handprint. My handprint, still wet. I thought, yeah well I was feeling around the wall to find things. But... It's made of blood. I haven't cut myself on my hands, I checked. I mean, it's possible I nicked myself and didn't notice. That happened once when I sliced open a toe and didn't notice for about an hour and there was blood all over the floor.

But my hands are clean. And I'm sure it's just the light, or the stone reacting to the hand oils. Just the light.

Status Report:

BAD NEWS. There is something down here with me! I don't know of any animals that have been located in the area and I don't think seals are known to attack sleeping people, but I've got some horrible gashes in my leg and had to spend the better part of the day trying to bandage them up. In the dark. Because the headlamp keeps going out.

But the good news is, apparently I can just live here now! There's more granola than ever because I can't fucking count. And because I'm to goddamn afraid to go back to sleep I dug out a little hole where the freshwater was so hopefully it can collect. All I have to do is just learn to navigate without any light and I'll be a-ok.

Doesn't matter that the 3D map is doing well! Doesn't fucking matter at all since I still can't get my way to the exit. Can't even make it back in time for Vito's birthday, even though I promised. And don't know what day it is. Or even if it's already passed.

I'm going to die of sepsis.

Status Report:

I broke the damned radio today... There was a shaft where I could see light and I though that maybe there was a way out. I climbed up real high and I guess it was close enough to the surface where I could get a signal because the fucking radio started blasting some pop song in a language I didn't know. It scared the shit out of me and when I tried to turn it off it fell down and smashed itself on the rocks.

I had to abandon that shaft anyway since it was too small for me to squeeze through.

I took the rest of the radio parts back with me, but when I was scrounging around for all the bits and bobs I found a pile of animal bones. I don't know what type exactly they were, but they looked fresh and they still had the marrow in them. I don't think any animal marrow is poisonous, and well, soup stock is made from bones right? I cracked them open and at them. It wasn't good, but it was rich and fatty. Maybe if I had waited and roasted it over the fire it would have tasted better but I didn't want to carry anymore with me.

When I'm done there's more near that shaft I need to explore. The lamp's starting to go out again and I gotta be careful that I don't fall someplace where they won't find me.
