The Journal of Jack

Before the nukes have dropped upon America at 6 am. (Chapter One)

I wake up early from the bright sun shining through the window. I started making a prank for my long time best friend, Jacob. Jacob always pranks me so I am now going to prank him… I get a gallon bucket, fill it up with ice and water and go to his room. I then throw the ice cold water on him and screamed really loud with a bit of a cackle I must add, it was quite funny. He jumps up so fast I thought he might spring into the ceiling and he runs to the bathroom. I start laughing as I follow him to the bathroom slowly Jacob turns around confused and mumbles something along the lines of “You jerk,” so I look back at him and shout “Sweet revenge is mine!” I laughed at him for a bit. Codsworth yells us to the Living room. He says to check the news so we do so confused. The newsman looked very serious with a stern look. “There have been explosion all across America, starting in New York then in Washington, wait what aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!-”

beeeeeeeeepppp… Then a someone started knocking at the door then. I look at Jacob concerned then walk to the door and open it slowly. It was the robco representative. “You Jack and Jacob are one of the selected few to enter vault 111 and it can only support up to 300 individuals including scientists so you better hurry to the vault” I look him in the eyes and say “Ok thank you sir.” A minute later we hear very loud sirens. I run for our cat and grab her and signal Jacob to run to the vault. I swing open the front door and start running down the street with Jacob. Panic everywhere. Army everywhere, helicopters flying past from above at high speeds. Civilians running, packing their cars, crying… We turn right to the bridge that arches over the little river and run up to the chain link fence that guards us from the vault. Jacob and I push past the other civilians and get greeted by the soldier at the gate to the vault. I stop panting holding on to our cat and look at Jacob with sirens blaring.
