it's personal discussion

day 1
11:23pm
when i woke, everyone was gone. there wasn't a soul in sight. all the lines were dead and the tv just stayed black. cars just sat in the middle of the road like the owners simply stopped and got out, never to return. it's eerily quiet. no barking of dogs, no sound of children playing in the streets or lawns being watered. even the birds stopped chirping. if i hadn't dropped my pen writing this, i'd think all the sound had gone from the world. i think i'm all alone. i think i'm the last person alive...

day 2 
8:53am
the rain started today. it's the only real noise i've heard since yesterday. it's funny how you never miss something until it's gone. i never thought i'd miss the sound of such simple things. but the sound of the rain has always been one of my favorites. and here it is. so all day, I just sat watching the rain. it really came down today. i hope it rains tomorrow too. the silence is deafening. never thought i would say that... maybe tomorrow i'll go out and just enjoy the rain, feel the cool water on my skin. we'll see.

day 3
11:42pm
went out in the rain today. that was a huge mistake. it burned like nothing i had ever felt before. it doesn't make sense. how could rain burn? it's supposed to be cool. the burns aren't too bad, thankfully. my hand is all wrapped up but I'm worried about the rain. i can't stay in the house forever. i'll go crazy. it's bad enough that it doesn't look like anyone is around. not having an human contact and being stuck inside is possibly the worst kind of torture imaginable. i hope the rain stops... man, never thought i'd wish for the rain to stop before...

day 4
5:32pm
my hand is looking a little better. not by much, but definitely better. it doesn't hurt near as bad anymore, either. and the rain looks like it might stop soon. it wasn't pouring as much as it was yesterday. so all in all, things are looking up. still no signs of other people, though. that's probably the most depressing part of all of this. it feels like there's something i should be doing. after all, if i'm the only person left, there's got to be something that i have to do. it's just a matter of figuring that out
