Dearest reader: I don't know where this thing came from but if anyone finds this I am sorry. I am so so so so so sorry you are here. This isn't mine and I don't know who you are or if you can read this but I am sorry you have been sent here. Maybe you're my brother, or one of my parents reading this, maybe you just happen to be the one who gets to go into here head first to find the missing people... Congrats in that case for I swear this book will never leave my side and you have found all that is left of me, or anything for that matter. I will be brief because I can barely see what I put down here, if you are reading this and are my family you know the story of how I 'came' here. If not, then don't worry it won't matter. What matters is that you know a bit of the place you are in. As of this moment everything around me is dark and for the life of me, I cannot see the ground I am sitting on.

The only illumination offered to me is the digital wristwatch that is currently balanced on my head, and yes dad if you get this its not broken just a little rusted around the wristband. So thank god for small miracles, like how I can write this and not accidentally stab myself with the ballpoint I use. Where I found a book and a ballpoint pen? Don't ask I literally cannot tell you when everything is invisible to the naked eye. Well, almost everything. If you by chance see something shimmer in front of you do yourself a favour and do not yell. Because apparently I'm deaf now. And while on the subject numbness, I know this as a fact because I cannot feel the wind, but thanks to some calm and rational thoughts (after some healthy panicking) I took the liberty of taking inventory of my senses. Again I am sorry you have to go through this, but ignore that for now

Either way back to the shimmers. Don't know if they are a way home, or some divine joke to tick me off but they are solid and almost invisible. Almost. They are harder to see from up close but even in near darkness if you squint long enough you can make out some movement. Secondly If you see things moving in the darkness DO NOT PANIC, they are not hostile, I know this because when I woke up I no longer had a tan and I'm pretty sure that is a long time to be asleep, and vulnerable.

But what do I know, they may just not see me as a threat, so if you are here reading this and this place is still the dull devoid...void which I am trapped in please don't worry, nothing will hurt you out here because there is no-one and nothing that can. Best of luck, live a better life than I am/did

Day 2?: I see something...I'm not sure how much I can make out from this distance but it looks roughly hu noid. What I can see are the people around it. All lying down in single file. Five, mayb more but I cannot see clearly witho iving myself away. All of them are not motionles cept the thing looking at them. Some ok like they are breathing but annot see what they are doing to them. If this mak back let it be know that I died savi ives from aliens and not cowering in the dark afraid of what might happen to myself. d help me if I sit here and do nothin

(I CAN HEAR AGAIN!)

Day 3/4? WE found more , and some food, I am a of science but don't get me wrong when you take a bite into a bunch of crackers I was shouti aise to deities until just blubbering praise to gibberish. Apparently there are more people than I though here. That aid though they are of stasis. Lined up like this lot I have decide to name group Allen, they look like they could lated or at least shar ome similar features: blond hair, blue eyes, and little to no growth of hair facial or otherwise. ote in case my realit omes crashing into this one, there are some things that are appearing every now and then like ho hold items, preserved ods, clothes, and what appears to be a bed sheet (more colours than a weekend in Gl o). Either way these next few pages should be like life in the dead zone... except this time I have the company of... probabl hould have exchanged names instead of the whole "who are you, what are you doing, stop -bad word-ing repeating what I say"
