will be ready. I don't know
what work You have waiting for me out there, but I know that it's beyond that
door. It's outside these walls, in the darkness. It's out of Justice's safety
and protection. I see now that You didn't answer my pining for love. That,
perhaps, is not in my future. Justice is here as a challenge. He's simply
misguided. I won't hurt him. He's innocent. But I have to escape. I swear to do
this in Your name.
Amen.

I've managed to find a new place to live. It's far away from
Susan, unless she decides to leave. I doubt she will. She spent too long
setting up those traps and security measures and everything. She's way too
practical to waste that much time and energy. Scary practical.
I'm still working on the CESUs. My best theory is still that
I need to use a CESU to get into a CESU. At least as long as I'm stuck in here
without proper tools. Of course, I might end up killing myself in the process.
I don’t have any of the exact paperwork or schematics on them, but the amount
of energy inside of a CESU is huge. If I screw up… I don't want to think about
it. I'm working on estimates anyway. They could be wrong.
And I have to find two. The one I had on me when I woke up
is a ways off from the house. Have it set up with a tripwire. A million things
could go wrong with it, but if it works out, I'll have a good thirty seconds'
notice to get away.
I'll be completely unprotected at that point, too. Not
something I'm hoping for, but it's better than the alternative. You know,
death. So I'd rather find two. Something to work on and something to work with.
Hopefully not something powerful. Don't want to rupture whatever's in there.
But I'd rather have the one I work with strong enough to make somebody else
stumble, if necessary. A delicate balance. I don't know that I'll be able to
find it.
It might be easier if I could sleep better. Ever since I
left, I've been on edge. Any little noise or light wakes me up. I'm lucky to
get a few hours. And those few hours are normally filled with nightmares. Tina
dying. Susan finding me. My own damn curiosity getting me blown up or burned to
death. I've been way too tired lately. So I'd rather find the other CESUs soon.
I don't know how many more nights I'll be lucid enough to comfortably do the
kind of precision work I'll end up needing to do.

I've come to a decision. Probably get my stupid ass killed
in the process, but Julia needs protecting, and I'm here. So I'm doing it. I
can't tell her about it, but I'm doing it. I just don't want her getting hurt.
She's teaching me to cook. If I make it out of this in one
piece, I guess I'll actually be able to fend for myself. Hopefully I can get my
food bills down. Restaurants and prepackaged dinners aren't really
cost-effective. I always knew that, but I didn't think I could cook. Actually,
I knew I couldn't. Now I can… sort of.
Let's just hope that I actually get the chance to put this
all to use. But then, if I do, that means Julia didn't survive. Either way, I
failed. Which one is worse? I don't know for sure. Depends on the day. Depends
on the time of day, I guess.
Right now, the best option is Julia surviving. I guess I'll
see what the verdict is tonight, when I don't sleep again. The past couple days
haven't been good for me. Exhaustion. This whole thing's been keeping me up.
But I can't manage to give up and leave. I just can't.

I've been thinking about my family a lot lately. My mom,
mostly. Dad, he can probably handle the whole thing all right. On the outside,
anyway. You know how it is with those old-fashioned kinda guys. They never
really let you know how they're feeling until their dogs die. But Mom, I think
she's falling apart. I guess part of it is me hoping. Not that I want her to
get hurt. I don’t want any of this to
