What can I say? I’m just not cut out for this. I knew I shouldn’t have come. Of course, the mission is proceeding with or without me. The long bridge to Oakland Mega has been cleared of wrecked cars, and they are continuing their relentless hunt for betas over there now. The death toll from the virus has peaked, so some of the agents have switched to full-time epsilon-hunting and terminating. They’ve formed a special team just for that, calling themselves the Hunters.

No one seems to expect me to go on another expedition, and I haven’t volunteered. I just can’t go through that again. I have let everyone down, just as I always feared. I didn’t go over the wall, didn’t do my fair share.

Funny, but as it turns out, it wasn’t killing humans that got to me. It was being under attack. Never knowing when a bullet was going to hit me, or a firebomb or something. That horrible human male jumping down on me from the wall, trying to kill me. I freeze up just thinking about it.

Now that I’m back to some sort of functioning state, I’ve been spending my time trying to help out any way I can around here. I cook, clean, do repairs around the building and I’m learning to fix ground cars. Now that’s a skill I never thought I’d have.

At night, I escape to the humans’ library and read their paper books, many of which seem to be about human women who want to marry a wealthy man. They’re a bit dumb I guess, but they serve as an escape from this horror that my life has become. And I can be by myself there.

So I clean, I fix cars, I read, and I wait for something, I don’t know what.

I feel like I’ve changed, like I’m not me anymore. My heart used to be full, but now there’s nothing there. I’m slowly coming undone. And I can’t shake the feeling that something even more terrible is going to happen to me. It’s like a storm gathering in the distance. Maybe it’s my own end, but that wouldn’t be different from anyone else here. What really worries me is when—and how?
