"Hello? this is radio signal 88.1 if anyone's there... and can contact me. That'd be... well I guess fantastic huh? I'm sorry if you're alone... If I could come find you I would... But i'm scared... I'm just talking to my self." *Radio goes silent* |
Lee- I heard someone. I'm not just dreaming. That was a person who actually got sound to transmit. She sounds young. She must have heard one of my SOS messages and contacted me back. I still can't get the audio to work on my radio but maybe she can figure out morse code. I don't want her to think she's alone.

Hello, You are not talking to your self. I live with my family on a farm not to far from the waterfall. That is where we get fish and feed our selves. I have a wife, a son and a daughter. One of my sons was taken from us, toddlers can't help but make sound. Wether or not we find you, I think we should just speak to each other, talk about our days and our selves so we can have a sense of normalcy for once. Almost like were texting from a long distance. You are not alone are you? |

"I'm not completely alone. I live with... 2 people. um... Sometimes I feel like i'm alone because they're not particularly capable of living in this kind of environment, but i'm glad I have someone to talk to now... whether I know you or not. It's more than the two people I talk to everyday. I'm glad you're not alone...I'm glad you have your family with you still.... I'd love to speak to your daughter... at some point, if thats alright. I'm 13 so i don't really have anyone my age anymore. Most people my age can't keep quiet so... Thank you by the way... Thank you." *Radio goes silent* |

I would love for you to talk to my daughter. She's deaf so I've taught my whole family sign language. It helps with being silent so I have her to thank for that. My kids seem to catch on and learn quicker because of it. Lots of quick thinking involved. I'm sorry if my messages are too long, it must take a very long time to translate. I'm glad you are smart enough to be able to understand it though, you must be a quick thinker like my kids. |

"Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I was translating and then I fell asleep...It was gonna take me a while. You're right, it is difficult to translate morse code but my grandfather was in the military and taught me all about it considering our situation. It does help a bit. but um... speaking of which, I live with my grandparents in a cabin in the woods. Sounds like a horror movie but...I guess we are kind of living one aren't we? um... I'm a bit worried because at there age, their mental capacity is shrinking and they go out side and walk around with no problem, which is worrisome because that could get them killed... And if they die... I have nothing left. so, you know, I hope you're always around." *Radio goes silent* |

I'm glad you got some sleep. It must be helpful having someone in your life who knows how to defend even though he's older. I think I may have seen that cabin you're talking about. When I go to get the fish out of the traps, I think I pass it. I plan to bring my son for the first time tomorrow. My daughter is jealous, she reminds me a lot of you, intelligent. Maybe I'll se your grandparents walking about.

I just realized i've never asked you your name. I want to be able to introduce you to my son if I meet you on the way back from the river. You may not be awake yet so I'll listen to your message when I get back. We are heading out now.

I completely forgot to introduce my self. My names Sophie. Um... Yeah, if you do find the house i'd love to meet you guys. And maybe you can say hi to my grandparents while you're passing by, they are.... *scream*......oh my god...... I think theres something in the house.... I think that was my grandfather... screaming...I have to be quiet... *Sounds of creature walking down stairs. Implication of destruction* |
*Reaction After Coming Home to Listen to Message*
I didn't realize those were her grandparents... if I had known... I would have helped, I would have... But she's gone...I can't get through to her and that area is infested by those things. I don't know what happened and I just don't understand why he screamed... Why did he scream? He had someone to take care of, there was someone left with no one else there for them. I told him to stay quiet! I told him... I told him to. Be. Quiet... She has to be okay... She has to be. I didn't even let her talk to my daughter yet.
