Lost Colony Diary Entry
I am scared. It has been 4 months since Governor White has left for England. By the first month, half of our food supply was used up. We had tried to find alternative sources of food but there was not much we could find. There were many late-summer storms that had washed off some of our crops and food. We were deserted without a leader and we had no idea what to do. By the second month, we barely had enough for one to two meals a day per family.
By the third month, we were starving but we had a renewed confidence. We thought that our leader was going to be back soon with food. We finished almost all the remaining supply of food but to our disappointment, Governor White did not come back. I panicked. We barely had any food left.
It has now been 4 months and Governor White has still not come. We are to our last few meals and I have seen some families resort to cannibalism. I am scared that my husband will come for me. I am scared that he will come for my children. I am scared that he will eat us. He has already talked of breaking into another house and eating them. Governor White was supposed to come back last month with food, but he has been delayed.
I don't know what to do. I do not want to eat other humans. Eventually our colony will die out. If everyone ate a person everyday, our population will be cut in half every day. There are some people who also disagree with this. We are planning to escape the colony and live with the Croatian tribe. They have agreed to help us get our life started again. We will go live with them.
For our Governor and his party, we will leave a marking on the fence post. I hope he will find it and come back for us so we can start this colony again.
