    About this ebook

    A series of diary entries through the eyes of a young girl as she tries to survive the end of the world.

    "Kellie's Diary returns with a bang! ...She may be the only one in her group with the most realistic outlook on this decaying world, and yet by the time this book ends you will wonder if she even has her head on straight."

    It's been almost four years since Kellie and her new family lost their old home. Kellie and her younger sister, Lydia, have steadily grown accustomed to the new life around them. They've long since left Texas, traveling with a mobile community. It's the longest they've ever stayed with one group, but remaining steady in a moving environment has it's share of challenges... and secrets.

    This issue also contains the short story "Sarah's Despair" (originally released as an additional short story included in Kellie's Diary: Decay of Innocence).

    Thomas Jenner

    Thomas JennerOriginally from Los Angeles, California, currently living in Austin, Texas. Tom's unique imagination runs at high speed, as if entire universes reside within it. He approaches storytelling based on what it would look like as a movie rather than how it should read in a book, which gives his stories an interesting flow - different than the norm but still gripping on the mind. He cites his main inspirations as The Matrix, Resident Evil, Doom, Mission Impossible, Stargate, 24, The X-Files, and The Walking Dead. His most recent hobby is building computers.Angeline JennerArtist by trade, writer on the side, rock star in the closet. Angeline has a wide spectrum of interests: music, art, cooking, computers/technology and gaming to name a few. She has been involved in digital art and graphic design since 2006. Graduating in 2013 with a BS in Computer Animation and Game Art, she has committed herself to digital art and uses that passion to help bring her projects to life. She helps maintain the visual appeal of storytelling through the use of 3D modelling and painting; her belief is that art tells stories just as well as words do.

      Kellie's Diary #4 - Thomas Jenner

      CHAPTER 1

      April 6, 1999

      Well this sucks. We’re stuck up here in the attic of this huge house. I went to go check out the basement, and a whole ton of zombies came out. There were so many at once that Jonathan had to pull me up into the attic with him and Sarah to get away from them. A few minutes ago, Sarah called on the radio for the salvagers to come get us out, so now we're having to wait.

      And Sarah is just making things worse. She keeps saying how I should have been more careful, or asked someone to check the basement, blah-blah-blah… I’m getting so tired of her crap. How was I supposed to know that there were zombies down there!? It’s not like the zombies are on a map that we can just avoid.

      What kind of freak keeps zombies locked up in their basement, anyway? There had to be at least 20 when I opened the door! It surprised me at first, but now I’m just irritated that I’m stuck here. We’ve wasted a lot of time sitting here waiting for the team to come get us.

      ...Oh god, Sarah won’t shut up about it. If I didn’t open the basement, either she or Jonathan would have, and we’d still probably be stuck up here. So I don’t know why she’s blaming me for this. She acts all surprised that we found zombies hiding in a house. Seriously, how long has it been now, Barb? This is nothing new for us, and she’s making way too big of a deal about it.

      Honestly I want to get out of here just to get away from her. I can get away from zombies easily, but I know that if I try to get out now, I'd be leaving them behind.

      The only cool thing I found in this house was an old Nintendo. I think I remember Dad having one of those things. Whoever was in this room had a big stack of games sitting next to their TV.

      I showed Sarah, but she didn’t even seem to care, she just looked at it and walked back downstairs. I don’t know what the hell her problem is. I know we can’t use it, but that doesn’t mean she has to be a bitch about it. Jonathan saw it and said that it was awesome, that he used to have one too. At least he gets it and he's not being a jerk about it.

      It’s weird, seeing that Nintendo started making me think of my dad… then the others. I haven’t thought much about my old family lately. I try to remember things before everything went to hell, but it’s only in pieces. It’s getting hard to remember everything. The only people that are left from that life are you and Lydia.

      I have a hard time remembering Jennifer sometimes, but she was just a baby, and I didn’t play with her very much, since Mom was the one dealing with her. I remember Mom okay, just nothing really special. I used to wonder if any of them ever made it, but I’ve gotten used to it being just the three of us. I guess I can’t help thinking about stuff like that once I get started. It’s like once you think about it, it doesn’t go away, as much as you try to forget.

      I wish the stupid zombies would shut up, it’s making it hard to think. All their groaning and stomping around is so annoying right now. We're just trying to do our job. Sarah’s mumbling something into the radio, and that’s just making me more irritated. I’d rather be in bed talking to you, not stuck up here in this dumb attic.

      Oh wait, maybe we won’t be here much longer. Sarah just said that the salvage team is here. We need to go.

      CHAPTER 2

      April 9, 1999

      I am so damn tired of hearing Sarah and Dan complaining about Mark. I know, I’ve been saying that for a long time, but today it was so bad that I was about to start yelling back at them too.

      I couldn't tell exactly what Sarah and Dan were talking about, but I heard a little bit when they went outside. She looked pissed when she got back from talking with Mark, so Dan started asking her about it to figure it out. You know I don’t like hearing them complaining about stuff, but I figured I’d listen in this time.

      I wasn’t able to understand a lot of it because of the train moving, but I swear I heard them say they wanted to get a new leader for the train and relieve Mark of his command! All Sarah’s been talking about lately is how she thinks Mark is a bad leader, and that she wishes the old town was still standing. I also heard her talking about what happened when we were stuck in the attic, saying that it wouldn’t have happened if I weren’t on the team! She still blames me for what happened! I don’t believe it!!

      She said she thinks it’s a bad idea to have the kids working, that it’s too dangerous for me to be out there, and Dan agreed with her! I don’t get it, what’s wrong with having a job?? Lydia's been doing great in the garden, you know that as much as I do! Besides, working with the food is important, she gets to make sure the plants are growing enough to feed us. I get to go help find things for the train that we can use! We’re actually being useful instead of sitting back and hiding.

      Why the hell did Sarah teach me to shoot anyway, if she didn’t want me doing anything to begin with? I’m almost wondering if she’s thinking about taking my gun from me. Not like I’d ever give it to her.

      I wish I understood what their problem with Mark is. Ever since we got here, Sarah and Dan haven’t trusted Mark, but they don’t ever say why, and he’s never done anything wrong! Even after all this time being on the train, and all the
