Dear Diary,
Remember how I told you about the war that was going to start. Well…I started awhile ago and mama and I are pretty scared. Usually, papa would tell us that everything was going to be ok. Now mama tries…but I can still see the fear in her eyes. She doesn’t even go work in the fields anymore. Now all we do is lock ourselves up in the house while we wait for a brave neighbour to come give us some news. I really hope this war ends soon.
Love,
Samantha Jones
P.S. it is too dangerous to go to the news stand now, so I don’t have any news to tell you. But mama and I agreed that I won’t be writing in you till the war ends, but she did promise that once it ends; we will go to the news stand every day for a week. That means I will have a ton of news to tell you soon.
See you later Diary.
It must be hard for you and your mom/mama to try to do your daily tasks - like cooking...etc. if you know what I mean... - But ever since that war started... Did you at least TRY to investigate what was happening? I mean, I did, it's not that hard... Unless you want to take a risk.. But that's my motto: Staying fearless isn't fun. Being curious can help you sometimes...
