Chapter 22 - Bonus Chapter-Alice's Journal(2)

I don't want to hunt today. It's not like I'll die of starvation, I mean what's the point of it all. I could try sleeping till the end of time but even if I sleep there's no guarantee that Tommy will show up. Same day, same chores. Search around the trash heap for stray monsters, kill, search the heap for anything fun, then explore the city.

I guess I could re-read all the books in the library but that'd just be boring. I'm a bit tempted to wander the world again and read every book but I can't seem to bring myself away from the heap. Just, something about it is so magnetizing. I wonder what's at the bottom the heap?

Probably just more trash.

Anyways yeah new day, at least I think so? I think the earth might be locked in place, I haven't seen the sun since before the day the moon woke up. Maybe the moon is responsible for humans becoming monsters? It has to be a painful process. Limbs extending and thinning as your bones are stretched out and broken. Yet, despite the pain these things are always smiling that same disgusting nostalgia filled smile.

I wonder why they don't attack me? I mean no matter what I do they just don't respond. Tear off their limbs, break their disgustingly long fingers, or even eat them alive nothing happens. Maybe they're brain dead? But i've seen them attack animals, hell i've even seen a few kill each other. Plus, I've heard them speak before. Though, i'm not sure grumbling out two words counts as speaking?

Wake up.

That's what they always say. But what's there to wake up? Will the earth open up and turn into another eye like the moon? What about the other planets? I don't know, I don't think I ever will. Just, I get the feeling that something is asleep, something old. Trapped in a dream, and that if it wakes up…everything will end.

But that might be okay. Even if there is other life left to fear death I truly don't care anymore. Let the world end with a big eldritch bang! Hmm, I wonder if I'll die if the world ends? I never tried throwing myself into the vacuum of space. I have to add that to the death list. I guess I've written enough. Time to get the next however long I spend outside over with.

I hope I get to see Tommy tonight.
