January 1, 2045 Ok, so the world is going to end really soon and all that. Blah Blah Blah there's no stopping it, yay. You're probably wondering why the world is ending and just because I have nothing better to do Iβll tell you. The pandemic just started and we are all forced to stay in our houses. Lucky us. I have only one room in my house, the government will come for me soon. Writing in this may be pointless but I might go mad without it. You may think that I should go stay with my family or close relatives, I don't have any. I should...
