all of sherman street is burned down. no one knows for sure who did it. kids say it was caine or it was sam or it was zil. kids saw all three of them kind of in the middle as it was burning. im coughing right now because the smoke was in my lungs. the smell is everywhere. the whole street is gray you wouldnt believe it. ashes on everything and at least half the houses burned down or mostly burned down.
joanie died. at least people heard her screaming and no one saw her come out. all that happened yesterday and no one has seen her yet. so yeah she probably died from burning or from choking. what kind of sick sick sick person does that. throwing gasoline bombs on peoples houses with them inside.
it wasnt like joanie was a friend really and we had an argument once over some stupid thing like i loaned her some soap back when we had water and she never paid me back only she said she did and really i dont know. and then shes dead. i cant be mean to anyone because you cant go around hating on people who might end up dead. and in this place that happens. we should all be so nice to each other because we are all trapped together.
but thats not the way it works is it.
orsay is saying all our parents and all are just outside the barrier waiting for us. sometimes i am so sick inside i almost start listening to her. why hold onto this.
the fire burned up my carrots and my tomatoes. not like burned but the heat just shriveled everything so the vines are all brittle and hard. i cried so hard over that. more than for the kids who got killed or hurt which is like so wrong. but its how i felt.
i hate this place. i want to go home. and no this is not my home.
