So it's been a couple of days since my last post.

A lot has happened.

On a positive note, I'm not dead yet.

However, I'm in a new predicament now.

See, I, uh...

I had to post this as a record of what's happened here.

I'll start from where I left off my previous post.

That hideous sound from the front door downstairs didn't let up.

I needed to decide whether I'd find somewhere safe to hide within the house or make a run for

it while those creatures were preoccupied at the door.

Both of those options had downsides.

See, if I decided to stay in the house and hide, I'd find myself trapped.

Should they find me?

If I decided to run, there's no way of knowing how well they are tracking or even how many

more of them there are outside.

Also I've no experience shooting a gun, so I felt as though an enclosed environment would

give me the best chance of landing a shot should have come to that.

But then again, there's no telling whether a bullet would stop them or not.

Do you have an attic that I hope to be difficult to reach by those creatures?

The opening is in the second bedroom and requires a ladder to get up.

Fortunately, I painted that room earlier in the year and borrowed a ladder from my father,

which I forgot to return to him.
