Going into Hiding Part 13(Final)

Dear Diary,
       Today we have all gathered at the radio to hear some urgent news. The food supply has been restored...Finally. My dad had to pull a couple of strings but we got it. The news reporter has just stated that Markos, the man who caused all African Americans all this trouble, has committed suicide because government officials were looking to bring him to justice. After the news was shared, we all cheered and thanked God for keeping us alive. 

       We then waited for a couple more weeks and we came out of hiding. Many people were shocked to hear what we went through for the past five years. We were even invited to interviews with news stations like CNN and talk shows like Ellen, Oprah, Good Morning America, and The Steve Harvey Show. Our experiences and many others like us went viral. I embraced the publicity at first, but then after a week it started to get to me. 

6 months later.....
       
     After all the excitement went down,we all went back to our somewhat normal lives. My dad got a huge promotion and now he works with Bill Gates in Microsoft. My mother is now one of the top managers in the VA. My older brother now works as doctor alongside Ben Carson. My little brother and I attend a rich private school in the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York along with our cousins. Aiden and I are finally together and we have been going strong for a couple of months now. Don't worry we are not like those lovey dovey couples that can't live without each. We are a couple that are still best friends but at the same time we know that we're together. 

    God had it planned it out all along. A couple of years ago, I would've never thought that I would be here alive in my right mind. Although we lost some people along the way, we came out stronger in faith than to we have ever been. 

Goodbye Diary I will miss you!

Forever and always,
Shannon

Going into Hiding Part 12

Dear Diary,
I'm in full out panic mode! Tomorrow our food supply will run out! Noooooooo! I started hyperventilating when my father shared the news to us during breakfast. I completely lost my appetite after the announcement and went to my room to cry and think. Aiden came and comforted me and told me that it was going to be alright when in truth it was not. We talked about and tried to figure out why the food disappeared. We were just mindlessly speaking our thoughts when I discovered why. During the snow storm and even after everybody at least went into the fridge once or twice per hour. So we came to th conclusion that everybody was to blame. 

We went and told everyone this and they agreed. The next question was what are we going to do now? The answer was to put it in God's hands and that's whale are currently doing. I pray that some way somehow food will turn up.

Yours truly, 
Shannon

Going into Hiding Part 10

Dear Diary,
Right now my family and I have been preparing for a terrible blizzard that's supposed to be coming our way in a couple of hours. I don't really see why we have to prepare considering that we have a fully stocked fridge, lots of clothes for all seasons, and things to entertain ourselves with. My mom said we may have all of this stuff, but we still need to prepare for a power outage. We had to fully stock on batteries, flashlights/lanterns, and canned food. 

The storm has arrived and I am extremely scared. I'm curled up next to heater embracing the heat that it has to offer alongside Aiden who has become my best friend over the past couple of months. We talk for a couple of hours and before we know it the storm had passed. Despite the storm ending, we continue to talk about various things from food to what we wanted to be when we grew up. 

It's finally bedtime and I am so tired. Today was actually one of the few good days that I have had since I went into hiding. I might even have developd a crush on him......maybe. Let's just keep this between you and me just for the time being until it's official. 

Wish me sweet dreams,
Shannon
