There's no lock, but the careful way the bow keeping the book shut indicates that you're trespassing on someone who often uses this - not just for thoughts, but to keep track of things. It'd be a clear breach of privacy to the owner if you read it, but is it worth it? Is it worth opening and reading?
Of course it is.

[align=center][align=center][div style="0px; width:450px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]August 9th.
At least, I think it's August 9th. It's frustrating to realize that time doesn't really matter anymore. I spent 18 years obsessed with time, and now I can't even tell you what time it is. My watch tells me it's almost midnight. I don't know how accurate it is. All I know is I can't sleep, and I'm trying to write with the light of a wind-up flashlight.
There's an aching at the back of my skull, and I think my mom said it was related to stress. It's been a while since I've thought about her. She had kind eyes - soft and thoughtful. They hid things that I was only starting to understand when we lost power. I wish I knew where she was, but something tells me she isn't here. Dad always said we were similar, that we reacted the same way to our problems. I'd had Evangeline in the beginning, and she hadn't.
I don't have Evangeline anymore. I hope mom does - maybe they're rewatching the dumb reality shows they loved to make fun of. I hope they're happy. Sometimes I think that
I have things here to focus on, not what my family could or could not be doing. I have family here now - Camp Apocalypse is my "family" I suppose. Thorne is my family, even if I don't see him a lot. I have something that I quite frankly don't deserve, but.. I'll talk about it later.
It's past midnight now. The pressure in my head is moving its way up my skull. I think I'm gonna have a migraine, so I'm gonna put this down now.
