Book 2 Journal Entry 163
Journal 163
Kate is feeling blue. She is having boy issues. I know boy issues. I’ve had quite a few of my own in the last few months. Poor Kate, she has been sulking most of the day. I went to get a shovel for Joshua and found Kate drinking behind the shed. It was an odd place to be drinking. If I wanted to drink, I wouldn’t do it behind a shed. I’d lock myself in my room and drink there.
I asked Kate if I could do anything to help. She didn’t want my help. I asked Kate if she wanted to go for a walk. She didn’t want to go for a walk. I asked Kate if she wanted to talk about what was making her sad. She said a few words that I’m not going to repeat and asked me to go away. Therefore, I did.

Journal 123
Kate had to leave us alone to attend to her duties at the rally. She didn’t want to draw suspension to herself. She cautioned us to stay below Anna’s radar. This rally was only for the most faithful of believers. Anna would not appreciate intruders.
It was like a sea of white. Everyone in the room was wearing hoodies. A white pullover with a hat attached to the back. Half the people in the room had their hats on their heads. Tony and I pulled our hats onto our heads so that Anna wouldn’t recognize us. It was a challenge to stay away from people I knew.
I had an awful case of giggles. I just couldn’t stop. Everything I overheard made me giggle. Tony kept pinching me on the arm. He didn’t find our situation funny at all. We walked around the room ease dropping on conversations. Most of the people were talking about how Aloysius had changed their lives and the changes that would come. I never heard what changes were coming but it sounded big. I kept looking for Joshua. After circling the room and weaving through the crowd at least a dozen times, I was finally convinced Joshua wasn’t in the room. I don’t know what I would have done if I had actually run into him. I know Joshua wouldn’t have followed me out the door.
I was eating mini sandwiches at one of the tables against the wall when suddenly the room became quiet. It was so quiet you could hear crickets in the background. Everyone in the room dropped to their knees. Except me, I stood there for a moment looking around the room. Anna and Joshua entered the room wearing formal gowns. It was very regal and a little unnerving. I had the sudden feeling of déjà vu. Tony grabbed me by my arm and pulled me down to the floor. It wasn’t a graceful kneel.
Book 2, My name is Madie
My name is Madie. This is my journal.
Life is full of crossroads and forks in the road. Whichever road you choose to take will determined your fate in life. Sometimes there are obstacles or bumps in the road that required a change of direction. Other times, the road gives you a choice. You can continue to go straight, or you can choose to change directions. I think I read that somewhere or something similar. I made a choice to change directions. I’m thinking I should have stayed straight.
