June 1, 1990 Fredsburg, Illinois I am writing this journal for anyone to find later. These creatures just mysteriously popped up on Earth, these "species" as the government wants us to believe. As of the Safety Tape being given out to the public, the creatures have yet to do anything, but I know it's coming. I've read books on a fictional place called Mandela County and fictional creatures like the Iris, and they all started with strange, dangerous creatures. This is just another story, except it is one that is real now, and I'm just another character. As of now, only 6 have been discovered, the Watchers or as the government calls them, the "One That Watches", Field Guardians, Fisheries, Shadows, Longnecks, and Noxpetals, which are all in the tape. I bet there are more out there, but that cannot be proven yet. However, I'm guessing if there are more out there, this isn't going to end well. June 4, 1990 Fredsburg, Illinois I have a big update. I'm homeless now. As it turns out, the Field Guardians consider me a threat and crushed my house. I hope the government can get this all settled. Also, I've found out that the "species" don't fit into any category. They aren't humans, animals, aliens, extraterrestrials, paranormal, etc. So I now call the "species," the Unknown to fit their mysteriousness and inability to fit in any category. That's all for today. June 9, 1990 Fredsburg, Illinois So far, I've made it. Had a couple close calls with Field Guardians and one with a Shadow while I slept in a small abandoned house. I'm still waiting for news, as is everyone else, but from rumors I've heard, the whole U.S. is blocked off from the world to contain the creatures. That means that there were other creatures out there, but they seem to all be the same. My old neighbors moved to Alaska before everything was cut off, and I've heard that the Helsteins moved to Hawaii with 6 other families. I just hope that this will end one day, the day that the Unknown were defeated. June 10, 1990 Fredsburg, Illinois The rumors were true. Recent news from the government says that the U.S. was blocked off from the world and that the creatures have been more destructive than they thought, so along with a copy of these journal entries, I have the updated tape attached, labeled Tape_1_EntityLog1990. The government also created classes for these beings that are listed in the tape. At least I think they are. For now, I can only hope and survive, so in case these entries are found, or at least this one, I'll finally introduce myself and summarize the other entries. I'm Hank Davison, a man that resides in Fredsburg, Illinois. On the 1st, the Unknown arrived in my hometown and the government, after discovering them, released a tape stating survival tips. 3 days later, a Field Guardian crushed my house and I discovered that the creatures don't fit in any living being category, examples being animals and paranormal. On the 9th rumors spread that the whole U.S. had been sealed off from the world to "contain" the creatures, and a day later, the government had confirmed the rumors and released a updated survival tape detailing the 6 creatures. That's it so far, but I will try to write as many entries detailing important notes and other things so if they are ever found in the future, if at all, there is a clear documentary of all of the events that happened during the time the Unknown terrorized the Earth.
1st of June, 1990 in Fredsburg, Illinois I'm Jake Haring. I will be documenting my experience in this journal. The creatures arrived here mysteriously and randomly. So far, the government has done what they can to protect us, but the safety tape they released is anything but helpful. For now, I will just survive. Update tomorrow.
