Journal 164

I have had a horrible day. I am angry and sad. I want to crawl into bed and wish the world away. Bear Country burned to the ground, there wasn’t anything we could do. By the time everyone arrived from the Spurs Fort flames had engulfed the entire school. It was heartbreaking to see.

Most of the residents of Bear Country were huddled on the grass across the street. Sheriff Pete was giving orders and sending scouts around the perimeter of the school to look for the missing.

The school was a total loss. We all watched the buildings burn until midmorning. Joshua invited everyone out to the Spurs Fort. He said we would make room. I thought it was a nice gesture. I think Joshua was trying to make me feel better.

Sheriff Pete said goodbye to all his new gang members. They all decided to find new homes elsewhere for a variety of reasons. I was able to convince Sheriff Pete, Matt, Hemy, JT, Evan, Marty, Cecelia, and Jonas to come and stay at the Spurs Fort. Tony refused to come. He is still mad at me.
