Here you can have a look my diary. I hope you like it!
I’m
Abril and I am hidden in a dark room, I think it is not big enough because I’ve
my legs folded because of the lack of space, and it is not so comfortable. I’m
afraid, I don’t know where I am, I can’t remember anything! I can’t remember
for how long I have been here.
Should
I go out of this room?
I have
just woken up and I discovered a notebook with Abril as a headline, (so I
thought that this is my name, yes, it is I can remember it, I’m Abril Armengol
and I’m fourteen, well, I think so.) and I started writing on this notebook.
Then I
saw a door and I opened, because I wasn’t listening anything from the other
side. When I was outside, I noticed that the “small dark room” was a closet, a
small closet.
And now
I’m writing in a wood table which is located in the middle of the room, this
one is bigger and, there is a lamp so I can see a little bit more. In this place,
there is only a table, one more closet so, in total 2 closets, a bathroom, four
boxes with food and two beds, but there isn’t any type of window. I was
searching for water and I found a lot of can food on the boxes and a lot of
water bottles so I can survive here for 2 months, or more, but, why I am here?
19/1/17
It is nine o’clock, well this is
what I can see in the clock of the room, it is quite big and it is red, I like
it. Yesterday I went to sleep after having my dinner, I ate two cans of beans,
they were delicious, I was so hungry, as I said, I don’t remember for how long
I have been in the closet.
After having my breakfast, I opened
“my closet”, it is different from the other, it has a pencil drawing on the
door and the other has a glasses drawing on it’s door, it is so strange and
weird.
But when I opened I discovered a
mirror so I looked at me, I was wearing a blue overall with a black T-shirt, I
looked tired, I had a bump on my forehead and it was there, when I knew why I
had lost my memory.
But the most important thing was, that I
discovered a big red poster with a message that says “Abril, Jamie don’t worry your family is
going to save you from the danger”.
After this discovering I was
upset, I could not do anything I started crying and saying, who is Jamie? Which
danger?
Then I spent the two next hours drawing,
thanks to my hobby, I could stop thinking on what was happening.
When I was going to sleep
something made me went to the other closet, the one with a glasses drawing on
the door, I opened and I jumped, there was a boy, a blond boy, probably he was
fourteen too, he sounded familiar to me, but I couldn’t remember his name…
After two seconds I knew, he was
Jamie my classmate, my friend , Jamie Roserted.
20/1/17
I don’t know why I’m writing every
day here, in this notebook, well probably I know, I’m so bored here, Jamie
don’t wake up yet.
Here in this room, in this empty
room I can’t do too many things, my phone had disappeared, when I woke up two
days ago, I did not have it, there aren’t books just a pen and a notebook, the
closets are empty and there is a door but it is closed and there is a poster
that appears a lightning, so it seems dangerous and there is a poster that says
“remain it closed”, so I’m not going to touch the door, should I?
After this, I ate a can of tuna
and another can of peas, and when I was going to bed I fell in the floor
because of a very hard headache and was there when I could remember everything.
I have to escape, but first, I
have to wake up Jamie, he is in danger, he is in danger as me.
21/1/17
The next morning I woke up
earlier as I normally do, because I need to think a way to escape, and a way to
woke up Jamie, he had to wake up as soon as possible, we are in danger.
As my daily routine I ate my can
and I wrote and I drew, and when I was going to bed I listened someone breathing
on my back I looked back and I saw Jamie , my Jamie, with a bulb too on his
forehead and he was wearing an overall as me but the T-shirt color was
different, his T-shirt was brown.
I couldn’t talk to him because as
I tried to hug him, he started running to “his closet”, but I yelled “Jamie I
am Abril, Abril Armengol, we are alone, there are no doors, there are no
windows”.
I asked him if in his closet was
something that we can use or something important and he said “no, there is
anything useful”. I went to check it, and I found a cellphone but Jamie said
that didn’t work so I forgot about it.
After it, Jamie stopped and start crying, he as me,
couldn’t remember anything so when I was going to explain it all to him…
“Jamie at the beginning you are not going to
remember nothing, but in a few days, you are going to remember everything,
don’t worry, I am going to explain it to you now. It is difficult to understand
but we…”
And when I
was going to say him the truth we listened a gun shot outside, and all turned
black.
22/1/17
I woke up with Jamie, I
was going to explain him all the truth, when he covered my mouth with his hands
and told me that someone was in the room, someone who we knew, someone who had
been in our “old” life, for so long.
She was Mery, my small
sister, I looked at her, she was wearing the same clothes as I wore, but she
did not have a bump, she was crying in silence, as fast as I could, I went to
hug her and we started crying. When we have finished, we began to explain to
Jamie what was going on with this world, why we were hiding.
“Everything started, more
or less at the end of 2018, when people still saying and still thinking that
gender inequality had disappeared.
In 2019 a feminism revolution blew up thanks to Christina Roserted an
American woman. Women were fed up of discrimination, because yes, in the 21th
century there was still gender inequality, in jobs, in the streets…And because
of this revolution all women were doomed to undergo new rules to avoid new
future revolutions. Women must wear the same clothes, they couldn’t go to the
same schools as boys, at the age of 12 they have to leave school and star
working on agriculture and livestock, they couldn’t work in important jobs and
a lot of stupid rules that must been followed by every single woman”.
Jamie was in shock because
Christina Roserted was his mother.
23/1/17
Jamie was quiet he did not
say anything since we had explained him the truth.
Then Mery explained to me
all with detail.
Our family was fed up of
all this injustices and, they had decided to escape from the city, but there
was loads of controls and the police caught my parents, Mery and Christina (she
was an old friend of my parents), when we were trying to escape, but we were
lucky, because my father had a friend in the police and he took me here in this
room and, Marcus, my dad’s friend helped to my sister to escape from the jail.
And that is why my sister reappeared.
When I have listened all
the story I felt impotence, I couldn’t do anything to save my parents they are
going to be killed soon, and Mery said, that if they did not return in three
days alive, we are going to know that they had been killed, and if this
happens, we have to escape from this room because it won’t be a safe place to
stay anymore.
26/1/17
Probably
this was the worst day of my entire life, I couldn’t stop thinking about my
parents I just wanted that the two people that I was waiting, came into this
room and told me that all had finished or at list that we could escape together
from this toxic society as a family and fight for our life.
And at
that moment I listened someone outside, someone was opening the door and when
he opened he was aiming at me with a gun, he wasn’t my dad neither my mother,
he was a police man.
I
looked around me and I saw Mery crying but Jamie wasn’t crying, he wasn’t scared,
and was at that moment that I uncovered the truth, Jamie betrayed us, Jamie
betrayed all my family, he had planned that all this time. He had not lost his
memory and the phone! He had called the police.
I looked
at him and he told me, crying now, “I’m sorry I just want to be safe, I am
scared” and with tears on my cheeks I answered “With fear there isn’t freedom”.
