Before we begin with the story, i want to thank everyone who read my previous story which i cancelled, Total Eclipse. And a huge thanks to Vaporizer for giving me praise and suggestions, and made the short amount of time i put into it meaningful.

Oh, and fun fact: The three tribesmen in Total Eclipse that got names, Fredrik and Kaios, and Kuku the leader, are actually all named after players of another game, Haven & Hearth.

If you don't know what that is, i highly recommend you try it out. It's a F2P hard-core, perma-death wilderness survival MMO, and is, along with RimWorld and Unturned, one of my favorite games of all time.

Anyway, this story, or diary i guess you could say, is one i will be working on from time to time. I most likely won't be able to write very often, but i hope for it to be a good read.

ON WITH DA SHO...BOOK! I don't know i'm trying to make crummy jokes to fill in the blank.


Diary Entry: 1
5009 August somethin' (I have no idea what day it is.)

So...hey. Name's Sophia, or Marbles, as my friends like to call me. I'm 16 years old, going on 17 in a few months. You don't know me, and i don't know you. In fact, i doubt anyone will ever read this. But you'll know what this is in a minute.

You see, one day, i found myself in a strange pod. I had nothing on but a tattered hospital gown, and the top hatch for it didn't want to open. I heard ear-shreddingly loud ripping sounds, and wherever i was was shaking like crazy. Inside was this old, empty note book, and so i've decided to keep it, and keep a record of whatever happens.

Right now, i'm just kinda sitting here. Not much is happening. I click the "Open" button for the hatch every now and then but nothing ever happens. I'm starving, i feel like i haven't eaten in years.

Oh, actually, i probably should have mentioned i have no idea why i'm here. The last thing i remember was my friend said she was going to a party, and wanted me to come along. I didn't do much there. I remember sitting on the couch, and that's it. Now i'm here.



It's been about two hours since my last entry. Some kind, strong boy named William helped me out, says there was a bunch of junk on top of a my...whatever i was in. He's kinda cute, actually. (Oh gosh i hope he doesn't find this.) Neither of us know what happened or where we are. He says he's pretty good with computers, so he's staring at some console-type thingy while i sit over here writing this.


Diary Entry: 1-2
May 17th, 5573

...Hi...Notice the date? Well, it's been fifteen minutes from when i wrote the last entry. Turns out...those things we were in? Cryptosleep sarcophagi...And were not on earth, were on a huge space ship. Somehow, someone or something, stuck us in those cryptosleep watchamacallits and froze us, and now were 564 years in the future... All our loved ones are gone...were all alone n...(A tear dropped here, washing away the ink.)

Well, at least th...(Another tear)...nt a total loss. I sat down quietly sobbing, and William came up and put his arms around me and hugged me. Score!

Atleast my dad and brother, the only ones i respected, had died two years before in a car crash. My mom was all i had left, but she pretty much went insane after that, and constantly blamed me for the crash. I didn't care, i knew she was just in really sad. My life really took a turn for the worse then. I was horribly depressed and pretty much couldn't focus on anything the next year. But then, i met a nice girl named Amanda, and we became best friends. (Actually, she was my only friend. She's also the one who invited me to that par...(A T started to form, and ended with a long line down the page.)


Okay, sorry about that. William startled me. He was actually reading the entire time i was writing about my family. (No, he thankfully didn't see i wrote "SCORE!" in huge letters.) He comforted me, he too lost everyone...everything he cared about.

Oh, say, i didn't really give him much of a description did i? He's tall, muscular, and has a smile that probably made everyone his friend. He...


Oh my gosh that scared the crap out of me. One of the other cryptosleep things just opened with a tall, skinny guy inside. Apparently his name is Arthur. Along with me and Will, he doesn't remember anything, and is currently sobbing in the corner after also realizing he lost everything, like me and Will. I'm gonna go comfort him, write to ya later. (And btw sorry for all the stinkin' interruptions. These two pages are a mess.)
I was gonna put a smart-guy quote here but i couldn't think of one so here's a stick dude.

Nice idea, describing the story from Rimworld through a lost teenager's eyes. Sounds promising.
Waiting for more!

Gosh, i can't believe it's been a year already.

I had some intense writer's block and just sorta forgot about this, along with my other stories, entirely. Then i think i fell into a cryptosleep pod. Seriously, over a year, how the heck did i manage that?

Coming back to them, ugh, they're really cringie. Er, cringy. Or whatever.

I think i'll come back to this sometime, along with my other stories i've since abandoned. Probably tomorrow, or somewhere in the coming week.

If any of you really liked my works of fiction, please consider helping me with my current project: Wandlerlust. (FYI, i had no idea one of the updates was called Wanderlust, i'm not ripping off Ludeon, i swear!)

Again, sorry for the long hiatus. A lot of stuff's been going on IRL. I plan to start updating my stories a tad more often, but no promises!
