Thursday, October 31st.

The city streets are crowded for the holiday. Even with the rain. Hidden in the chaos, is the element... waiting to strike like snakes... And I’m there too. Watching. Two years of nights have turned me into a Nocturnal Animal. I must choose my targets carefully. It’s a big city. I can’t be everywhere. But they don’t know where I am. We have a signal now, for when I’m needed. When that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call, it’s a warning. To them. Fear... is a tool. They think I’m hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadows.

I wish I could say I’m making a difference, but i don't know. Murder, robberies, assault, 2 years later they’re all up... and now this. The city’s eating itself. Maybe its beyond saving... but I have to try.
Push Myself. These nights all roll together in a rush... Behind the mask. Sometimes in the morning, I have to force myself to remember... everything that happened.


Wednesday, November 6th.

The city is under the water. The national guard is coming. Martial law is in effect... but the criminal element never sleeps. Looting and lawlessness will be rampant... In the parts of the city no one can get to. I can already see, things will get worse before they get better... and some will seize the chance to grab everything they can. I'm starting to see now... I have had an effect here... but not the one I intended. Vengeance, won’t change the past. Mine… or anyone else’s. I have to become more. People need hope. To know someone’s out there for them. This city's angry, scarred. Like me. Our scars can destroy us. even after the physical wounds have healed. But if we can survive them... They can transform us. They can give us the power. To Endure, and the strength to fight.
