March 12 – 7 Days we’ve been adrift
The engine is beyond repair
I finally found where McNulty kept the pens. Poor bastard got thrown overboard in the storm, split his
head open on the stern. Some of the blood’s still there and neither me Frank or Zeke want to be the one
to clean it off
Zeke says it’s a bad omen
Frank says he can’t stand blood
I don’t want to think that roger’s dead
We should have enough food for a week, maybe two if we ration it
-Steve Morris
March 15 – Day 10
Zeke has taken to fishing. Says it keeps him calm.
Frank hasn’t left the bow, says he won’t go near the blood.
We’re going on thinner rations every day, supplemented by Zeke’s fish.
I don’t think we can take much more boredom
-S. M.
March 16 – Day 11
Frank started yelling last night. The blood’s gotten to him and the dehydration isn’t helping his case. The
food should stretch long enough to rescue
-S. M.
March 17 - Day 12
Frank’s voice went hoarse today, so he’s finally quiet
Zeke cleaned up the last of Roger, which got Frank to stop trying to scream. Now he just hangs off the
front like some limp rag
At least he’s quiet
-SM
March 21 – Day 16
Most of the food disappeared last night. Frank did it, I’m sure of it. Today was the first day in so long that
he’s had the energy to scream
I thought I’d cured that when I took McNulty’s bloody brains off the back of the boat.
When he saw the food was gone, Steve started screaming too. He gave it an hour before he curled up
below deck
Frank did it.
-Ezekiel Evans
March 22 – Day 17
Steve is still curled up below deck
Frank is going blind
Steve is whitehanded gripping a filet knife
Frank did it
-Ezekiel Evans
March 23 – Day 18
Frank spent all day staring at the sun.
Steve spent all day staring at frank
I spent all day staring at the knife
Frank did it
I don’t even hear the waves anymore
I saw a bird today
I think that’s good.
-Ezekiel Evans
March 25 – Day 20
I did it.
I got rid of our Problem
He’s still laying there, staring at his damned God
But he’s done screaming
He’s finally quiet
-Steve Morris
March 25th - Day 20
Steve snapped last night. Killed Frank.
The sound was terrible. They both screamed, crying out to God.
Steve screamed to God of Frank’s damnation
Frank cried out to the almighty for mercy.
His only mercy is in the beyond.
Frank did it.
Steve did it.
I am the only guiltless man aboard.
I alone am holy.
-Ezekiel Evans
March 27 – Day 22
Steve and I have stared at ex-Frank for two days
There aren’t even flies to eat what had been Frank, He just keeps looking worse and worse and I know
that we’re both thinking of eating him but I cant bring myself to do it and I know that there’s madness in
the meat
-Ezekiel
March 28
I have stared at Frank for too long, his dead white eyes
He sees my sin
Zeke sees my sin
I have seen too much
I must stare at the sun
I must see no more
FRANK WAS RIGHT
March 30
Today I woke up full. I woke up full and franks leg is down to the bone
I do not know if Steve is alive. He is silent. He stares at the sky. I have sinned. I have fallen
I am damned
March 32
I finished that which had been Frank
I have eaten flesh of man, and I am holier for it
For I above man
I am greater
I am worthy
I am God
Tomorrow I will rid myself of Steve, greatest of all sinners
March 35
My God, what have I done
Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani
I am king of bones. Emperor of dirt. God of an empty rusting boat
and commander of the corpses that she digests.
I am alone
I must repent and atone for taking of Steve and Frank
I must see no more
I must blind myself in atonement
I must watch the sun
The sun will cure me
Frank Was Right
DEAR GOD FRANK WAS RIGHT
