2399 Tomorrow is my birthday
2399 July 3 and I'm going to be 15 years old. Nat turned 7 in may, she is just a kid. My friends say I'm a throwback. That's because I still like my family. I think next year will be hard on everyone, I'll be sixteen and there are things I'll want to do. Well you understand girls and stuff. I'm not sure my family is ready for it so I'm trying to lay the frame work now. Maybe by this time next year they'll be better prepared. I'm a lot like my dad, that's what he says. So he says no amount of preparation will be enough. Gosh, can you imagine? He won't talk about it says take one day at a time, that'll be plenty. Mom just smiles and shakes her head. I don't know what she's thinking. Mom still tells me things about my blood dad. I guess he was a good guy but, I don't remember him at all. Kendall is the only real dad I've ever had and I know he loves us all. Mom and Dad don't think that killer will bother with dad. That's what they say, but Nat and I know they are worried and we worry too.

2399 August 6 Dad will be doing a huge show tonight. It's going to be telecast and all kinds of performers will be there. Mom's going to let us watch some of it. We can have two friends each for overnight.

I can't even write about what happened.

2400 Aug 6 It's been a year now , Nat is 8 and I'm sixteen. When I think of that night I remember the hate, horror and disbelief I felt. Mom didn't let us not talk about how we felt and what happened. I make Nat tell me things about dad. I want her to keep her real memories of him. After all I know how important they are.
