The Purple Light

Laurence Wayne, Rosetta Physician

Abandoned Bunker, Middle Dayton Wetlands

July 22, ██19

The purple light came on, so I proceeded straight to the evacuation bunker, just like it says in "Detailed Rules for Handling Containment Accidents." But what now!? Why does everyone here look so confused? And what the hell does it mean when the handbook says "using the supplies and equipment provided in the evacuation bunker, seal the entrance and make emergency defensive preparations"? There's barely any equipment in here, and what little there is is of no real use! There are barely enough rations for 10 people to last a week, and we're already at 43 and counting! I should've seen all this coming... Gene Sheckley ran northeast at the first sign of trouble. And isn't there an evacuation point somewhere around here too? But like an idiot, I followed the handbook... All we can do now is sit here, in this giant tomb, and wait for death...
