Day ????

I don't know what to do anymore. We're out of food. We're out of water. I can't find anything. A person can only last what? Three days? What about the kids? What am I going to do? They need to survive. Charlie is only 10. He still has so long to live. Stella is 7. How can a 7 year old survive this? God. I have to do something. I will do something.

The writing is fadded at the end. All you can make out is the word Dave.
