Dear Diary,Β
6/19/2019
Hey, itβs Alana!
For my 13th birthday, my parents presented me with this diary. Apparently, it isnβt any normal diary though, itβs a different kind of diary. Iβm supposed to write here every single year, on my birthday, June 19th.
My parents said it is supposed to help me βdocument my lifeβ and see how things change throughout my lifetime.Β
Got to go now,Β Mom and Dad are taking us out to a special birthday dinner and I donβt want to be late! Talk to you next year!
Dear Diary,Β

The worst words in the world, COVID-19. Ugh, I hate to even see that word, let alone write it.Β
The COVID-19 outbreak, commonly known as the coronavirus, is horrible.Β
My next-door neighbor got it and the entire neighborhood had to quarantine for 2 weeks!
The Corona Virus isnβt the only thing bad about 2020, there are also murder hornets, fires all over the place, and people claiming a zombie apocalypse is coming! And thatβs just the beginning.Β
Β Life sucks. Even though itβs my birthday, Iβm trapped inside as if Iβm in jail. I donβt get a party, none of my friends can come over. Itβs awful. 2020 is a terrible year.
Dear Diary,
6/19/2021
Well, guess what?! There was a zombie apocalypse after all! And I donβt even care. After you have survived the coronavirus, you can survive practically anything!
I made a new friend. His name is Brains, cause thatβs all he says, so I assume thatβs his name. He does stare at my head a lot, though. I think he might like me!
Dear Diary,

All the scientists are getting really worried cause we had a sudden change in temperature.
Β A month ago the average temperature for the world was about 59 degrees, now it is around 49. I donβt understand what the big dilemma is, 70 degrees high in summer is way better than 95.Β
Guess what? Now I can DRIVE!! The people on the news donβt advise it in the winter, thanks to the cold weather, but it doesnβt matter to me! Iβm still going to swerve on the road and go as fast as I can!
Dear Diary,Β

I shouldβve listened to those news reportersβ¦
A few weeks ago I was driving on a super icy and slippery road and I swerved off the side of the road! I landed up in the hospital with a broken leg and spine. I can hopefully get back to my normal lifestyle in two to three months. Luckily my friends have been visiting almost every day so Iβm not that bored!
Dear Diary,

Brains and IΒ have been official for 4 months now! I guess I was right about him liking me. Some of our best dates have been:
- Watching our new favorite movie, βZombies and Humansβ. Guess what? We spotted Brains as one of the background characters!
- Caroling around the holidays! Brains didn't really sing though, he just repeated the same word the whole time.Β
- The amusement park! Brains thought that one of the kidβs heads was cotton candy, though, so we had to leave.

Sorry that Iβm writing this after my birthday, but everything was frozen! What the scientist predicted had turned out to be right! The temperature is dropping, and fast. The average temperature is now around 20 degrees, almost 25 degrees colder than what it was a few years ago. The good news out of this is that I can go ice skating and sledding whenever I want.
But then this spaceship came over the earth and youβll never guess who came out! It was somebody who looked just like Brains and the other zombies! But instead of coming to earth and living here, they took all the zombies back! Iβm going to go sob upstairs. Goodbye
Dear Diary,

Ever since all the zombies were taken away by some mysterious person, the world has become quite dull again. Some scientists are still trying to figure out what happened while others have completely given up.Β
I moved out of my parents house a few months ago and am now living in a small apartment in Los Angeles. Things are definitely a lot different without having your parents around, and a lot more expensive. Luckily I got a job as a grocery store manager, so I can afford all the bills. Maybe next year I will try college.Β
Dear Diary,
6/19/2027
Guess what?!?! The zombies came back! Apparently the people that captured the zombies were using them as slaves! The zombies fought back and somehow got all of them all back to earth, where they belong.Β
Brains and I have decided to try college, though we cant decide where. Brains wants to go to ZU- Zombies University - while I want to go to UCLA. I am sure we will figure it out.Β

I know youβre all wet, and Iβm sorry! There was this massive flood, and everything got soaked! I almost drowned, but to be honest, it was kind of awesome! I went swimming for two days straight!Β
Bad news, though. Brains and I broke up, as we decided that we couldnβt do a long distance relationship. Iβm handling it just fine, but Brains has been a mess. I hope we both get accepted into our colleges! Even though weβre not dating anymore, I still wish the best for him, and we have stayed fast friends!

I got accepted into UCLA!!! I am so excited!! I canβt wait to get to college! Nothing interesting this year really happened. Aliens from outer space visited, so that was cool! I met this little alienette named Maya, and she was so cute! I think she was only a few light-years old!Β
I can't believe it has been 10 years since I got you! Youβve been with me through my highs and lows. I just wanted to thank you for giving me this chance to document everything thatβs happened! Wow, I canβt believe Iβm talking to a book. Well, I wish me luck! Bye!

Okay this is really good and its not cringe or whatever you think it is ^^ i kinda like the way you wrote the story in like Diary notes or whatever you would call it. i don't think i've really seen a lot of them that much maybe one other but that was about it. I also really liked the name you choose for her and it was honestly a bit funny in some of the parts (not in a bad way, i thought it was funny with her and 'brains') this was a really great first story you did and i hope that you'll keep making more whenever you can ^^ this was probabl...

Great job, Blair! I really liked this! I loved how the character's dialogue grew with her age. As she gets older, she sounds more mature. I love how she still maintains a happy composure even while the world is collapsing around her. Well done overall! -Megan S.
