Arianna's Journal

Our KTDARPG writers are wicked creative. Something as simple as a journal entry can be used very effectively to (a) summarize action, (b) give the story a time- or date-stamp, or (c) introduce small facts vital to setting the next stage of drama (without having to act out every detail through multiple postings) ...

My friend from Michigan does all this & more using such a normal device as a diary.



Dear Journal
Post #7008

Arianna sits alone in the warehouse writing in her journal.


April 1

Dear Journal,

It's been 3 months since the hurricane destroyed half of Fort River. Many people died, others were hurt badly. So many buildings gone, water everywhere. it doesn't look like home any more.

I'm worried. Most of the Misfits have left or disappeared. I haven't seen Rourke or Adear in what seems like forever. Breya went off a couple weeks ago, to look for her son I think. All the others except Lily and Izzy have joined other tribes. I hope those two are ok. They went out last night and haven't come back. It's sweet, those two getting together. They're a little young but who isn't these days?

Oh yeah - don't forget. I'm exactly 19 weeks today. That's about the only thing that keeps me going.

Well, that's all for now.


Arianna closes the book and puts it and the pen into a drawer next to her bed. She walks out into the empty warehouse. There she sighs, her hand on the small bump of her belly. She walks to the kitchen area and begins heating some water for tea.
