Prologue
January 1.

They have come.

''We have all heard the stories. From New York, there have been reports of a virus. A virus causing people to go insane. Savage. Violent. Animalistic. And... Causing them to go hungry. Not hungry for the normal meal however. The insane are hungry for the sane flesh. Jenny, my foster mother, wants us to move. Quentin, my foster father, says the business is too good for us to move at the moment. ''

''Since I was taken from my island where I resided with the Ourea, I have been living with the Harris family. It consists of Jenny Harris, Quentin Harris, Marie Harris and Tamhas Harris. Tamhas is my age. Marie is five. The most interesting thing about this family is... They're completely normal. ''

June 14.

''It has been months. I have not had time to write however. The world is ending. I never thought it would coem to this.''

''In December last year, the Gods disappeared leaving only a virus behind. They call it the 'Abandonment Virus'. It spreads one's blood being mixed with the blood of an Abandoned. That's what they call the insane now. More than two thirds of the world are Abandoned. Just in April, Quentin was Abandoned. Lost. He is now probably roaming the streets. KIlling, murdering. Trying to stop the hunger. ''

''Jenny is gone. She just disappeared one night after Quentin was Abandoned. Tamhas and Marie are fine. Well, it depends on your definition of fine. Marie is scared. I hear her screams at night and we have to give her slipping pills to shut her up so they won't find us. Tamhas has been using this sword he found in his cellar. It's a sword of celestial bronze. It is the only thing that truly burns the suckers. Sure, normal means kills them. But they don't feel pain. SO they just keep fighting til they're dead. Only celestial bronze burns them and causes them pain. The sword is called New King. Tamhas says he wishes we had a new king. Our last king is now Abandoned.''

''We're going out tomorrow to try and find Salvation. We heard rumorus from other survivors that it's an island. A sanctuary for the sane. Unfortunately, next to no-one makes it there. We have to try though. We're running out of food. We are having emergency supplies, we are starving and we even had to kill Mr Poppins and Croo Croo, the Harris's chickens for food.''

''I don't know when I'll write again. I don't know if I'll ever write again. I don't know if I'm going to live another day.''
