Diary of the Abandoned - May 28, 2008

Much has happened since I last wrote. I would not now, but
someone should, we all should, and one day someone will figure
out what happened.

The flooding is severe, more than a million have died of drowning.
No one has sickened with flood water illnesses, which no one but
me seems to think matters much. Shore lines are changing. Some
coastal areas have just disappeared.

Hospitals have become trauma centers since no one is sick. Even
AIDS patients have recovered completely. And even with the
extreme stress of our loses and suffering no one seems to be
cracking up. There have been lots of looting related deaths and
some killings between drug sellers and users, but none that could be
attributed to passion or rage or even irrationality. All were simple
cold-blooded killings.

There is a security counsel now. It is worldwide, every country
participates. All law enforcement, all government, all armed forces
are part of it. The rules are simple thou shalt nots. 1. Do not steal.
2. Do not kill. 3. Do not incite or participate in riots. The
penalties are stiff, if you are caught stealing you may be shot on
sight. If you kill, you are killed. If you incite riots by standing on a
street corner exhorting your fellow man, you can be shot.

Still, there are riots everywhere.

Everything is green. The temperatures remain stable worldwide
and where there is no flooding, the world is as green as paradise.
There are things blooming I have never seen before. And the birds .
. . I wish Sarah was here to see them.
