Description

"...trouble concentrating. My hand has become swollen, feeling almost as if the blood is being clogged frok the vein. One of those creatures had bitten me when I offered my hand to it. After watching them for weeks with my team, I got the courage to approach one. It wasn't too happy I must say! But no matter! I'm sure they'll warm up maybe! Tiny critter it was! Black as ink. Truely, unnerving at times but fascinating all the same! My wife has been fussing over my hand since I got home from the exception. I promised her I'd get the old paw checked out tomorrow. Hopefully, though, knowing me probably not! Haha! (Page 27)"

"Blast, I know it's almost winter but it's absolutely freezing! No matter how many blankets I cover myself in I can't stop shivering. My hand still looks bad, definitely something wrong there. Black lines everywhere, hurting horribly. Yeesh! Almost bad enough where I can't write. As if I'll stop writing! Haha! Digging and writing! Nice try, random illness. No matter though, I'm sure I'll be fine. It's probably some strand of rabies again or the like. You know ferals. Still! I promised the Mrs I'd see the doctor. I would have gone, honest, but I've been too busy playing with my little Arieta! She's so precious. Precocious too! She's been asking me questions that would make a professor stumble! So, in short, me. Very much so. She's grown so much, looking more like her mother every day...(Page 29)"

"I don't think it's rabies. It's gotten a lot worse. My veins are bark and it feels almost frozen stiff. All of me is frozen. I can't get warm no matter what I do. Hot bathes, food or drink, coats stacked. Nothing. It must be a fever...a bad fever is all. Some kind of manic jungle disease. I'm going now. I'll just be...(Page 31)"

"It's a jungle disease. Ruins disease. Something. They have no clue. No doctor, or healer, or cleric we saw knew...it's already dusk. Left at the crack of dawn. All day and nobody knew. Guess I'll have to weather through it.
I should have made Brently go touch the thing. Nobody likes him...(Page 30)

"Oh God, what is happening to me. I struck my wife, oh good Lord. We we're arguing about something, I can't even remember, when I snapped. I apologized immediately, but I could see the fear. Fear was there...Yes, there was a little there. She flinched afterwords when we brushed against each other when making dinner. She flinched. Flinched at me. I know I've been irritable from poor sleep but. Marissa, my love I'm sorry. (Page 38)"

"I can't take his anymore. Three towns! Three towns and the best suggestion for treatment is amputation?! I've tried everything! Every potion, spell and root I've had shoved in me. I can't sleep at night. I have visions of those creatures. Lurking waiting. Wanting. No, no. I'm angry. That's it I'm fine all will be well just tired. (Page 49)"

"FILTHY LIES. For two weeks I was tricked by that piece of scum quack. For two weeks he was giving me charmander urine saying it was a cure! Cure me and let me be That's all I wanted! BUT NO OF COURSe not. The bastard just don't want to cordial! He had what was coming I swear he did. No one will ever know it was me I swear even by this journal they'll never know. (Page 70)"

"Aelita! She took my baby Aelita! I was getting better! Fine JUST FINE! Bitch and her mother. I hated her mother always did I always did! Aelita my daughter! (Page 73)"

"She can have the urchin. Dumb disgraceful fool I was looking after it all trying to keep it together. (73)"

"I am mad. I know I am. I know. When I close my eyes! They're there! When I open them! They're there! In my room, the study, oh God I swear they're coming back for me! They're coming to finish the job. To stop me from writing- writing about them from telling everyone! Stop don't! You can't stop me! (Page 85)"

"...I draw every one I see but they're still there. Still there still. (Page 86)"

"Ink. Ink. Where. (Page 93)"

"...NO MORE THERE JUST THREE SWINGS AND DONE. JUST DONE...(Page 95)"

"Cold...everything. It's everywhere. I'm swimming in it. I understand it now. I get it. I understand... (Page 97)"

The book made no noise when Roderich set it down. Finishing the portion, he sat frozen. Only capable of staring into his own hands, shaking in his lap.

The diary of one of the earliest infected by Omni, archeologist director in his 40s who gets bitten while digging up some ruins. After which he slowly goes insane and dies.

Because that's going to help your growing anxiety. YEAH BOOK CLUB!

Well that was fun!

The description said that we could add to the lore through it's literature. I read that right after the corruptions were introduced. I couldn't not do this.

Despite it looking kind of wonky I actually put a lot of thought into this piece. I used colored pencil, paint, marker, sharpie, pens.
PLUS I DID THIS IN early SEPTEMBER WHAT
I'M PSYCHIC
