Greenland Trip Journal
April 1st
My name is Bernard Formus. I have been told by my professor that I should keep a log of the events that are to unfold from April 2nd to April 22nd. For I am leaving the united states to go up north toward the Arctic Tundra, or as we know it as Greenland. The reason for this expedition I guess I could call it, is to study the amount of ice there is now and compare it to how much ice there was 100 years ago. Though I'm not the one to do this type of activity, this will get me a lot of credit. Besides, I don't have much to lose. But this journal I'd rather not do but every good scientist keeps a log as to what is happening.
April 2nd
Well the take off was a success but the plane is not the one I would have chosen. Very loud and very nauseating but at least its not a 20 hour flight, only 15. Also the coats we are wearing don't make it much better I can't believe we have to wear them. The chance of us crashing in this dinky aircraft and living is so small it makes these coats basically useless other than to give us even less room. But at least none of the other passengers(of which there are 7) are trying to talk me yet. We did exchange greetings right before the flight but that's all I'm counting on for human contact until we arrive in Greenland. I didn't get much sleep last night so I hope I'll be able to sleep through the rest of this terrible flight.
April 3rd
I don't know what has happened but obviously our plane has crashed. Curse myself for thinking these coats irrelevant if not for them I would have froze in the arctic tundra. I have just woken up I am deducing that I have probably been in a short comma but it has at least been a day due to the fire all burning out. For now I will check if anyone else is alive for if they are not I don't think I'll be coming for may.
The worst has been found out. I seem to be the only one here alive. I couldn't stand to look at the mangled flesh of the pilots. I'm guessing they dosed off too and somehow tipped the point of the plane down, which led to crash of the plane. Other than the pilots I only counted 5 bodies meaning one person must have tried to find help or find someone who could revive me but I doubt the latter.
For a while now I have just been pacing the area. I don't have very many options. its beginning to sunset. I need to think quickly. Maybe from what is left of the luggage I could find some food, and also if I'm lucky I'll find some matches to start a fire. I think leaving is out of the question. I'm probably not even as experienced as most people on the trip. So if the other guy didn't have a chance what makes me think I will.
I've found some canned food. Five canned beans. One can of pineapple. And 3 cans of chicken noodle soup. This will hold me over for about a week I hope. I only found one box of matches and there are only 5 left in the box. This is not good. I'll have to take the clothes and luggage to make a fire. Good thing I was in the scouts. If only I had enough materials to set up a fire I could actually be rescued But I don't want to think about being rescued or the latter I just have to stay alive right now. I've got know idea what I'm gonna do about animals I guess I'll just hope they don't try steal my food the small amounts I have of it. I'm gonna set up base in the plane, hoping it will shield me from any snow storms.
April 4th
Last night I I had half of a can of beans and drank some the pineapple juice this morning I'm not feeling to well probably from dehydration.
Oh bother of course I can probably drink the snow water, I'll try that during lunch. But something odd did happen last night probably me just dozing into sleep but I could have sworn I saw a human like figure in the shadows seemingly looking directly at me. But I'll regard it as fictions of my mind.
The snow water doesn't taste nearly as good as the pineapple juice or for that matter any water I usually drink but it will have to do. So far I have been able to drag only one of the other bodies out of the plane I don't want animals trying to take the bodies, both for decency and also for my own safety. I wish I could burn them but I don't have enough matches for something like that.
April 5th
I think I have just seen the creature I dismissed last night. Right now its five am and I just woke up. I don't have recurring dreams so I think this creature may be real though I've never seen anything like it. It has the shape of a human being but a lot taller It just was standing there and when I came to my senses It was moving back into the shadows. But the one thing I am certain of Is that my observation last night was wrong this creature couldn't have been looking at me.
Because it has no face.
