Journal start: I know this isn't how my logs or journals are but I feel it's right for this update here goes.

In shadows deep, where echoes dwell,

Voices whisper, a haunting spell.

Nightmares claw, they twist and weave,

This "Thing" in my mind, I can't deceive.

It gnaws at reason, a relentless tide,

Humanity wanes, my thoughts collide.

Scientists, doctors, a ghostly parade,

Flickering lives, in darkness they fade.

Eyes reflect a morbid truth,

Friends and comrades, stolen youth.

Leadership crumbles, encased in dread,

Each moment a reminder, I'm filled with lead.

Their deaths loom large, a burden to bear,

Knowing their fates, it's too much to share.

A heart heavy with guilt, shadows confine,

In the silence of night, their lives intertwine.

I seek a way out from this despair,

A glimmer of hope, a breath of fresh air.

But the specters linger, they won't let me be,

In this haunting realm, I long to be free.
