The Diary of Madie Beartri
August 14, 2026
I am having trouble sleeping. I'm in a constant worry about everything. Last night was horrible, I couldn’t shut my mind off. I don’t like that Matt is inside the Central campus. I don’t want him taking any unnecessary chances. I am sure he will only do what is necessary, but I still worry about […]

A message from Matt was retrieved from the Central Campus today. The note read. Madie, Hope everyone’s doing okay. The fight did what we needed it to do. They don’t seem suspicious of me. I can move around most of Central without anyone paying much attention. A few areas are guarded and off limits. Haven’t […]

Life is busy around Bear Country. I have such a headache today. It's probably stress related. Everything is coming together for the naming ceremony. Casey is so excited and the baby seems to be thriving. Casey is also doing well. Work on the festival also continues. We have had several responses from local gangs who […]

The walk back to Bear Country with Jonas yesterday was so sad. He limped all the way back home. Lisa and I cleaned his wounds and made him something to eat. He didn’t eat much. I'm not sure if it was because of his injuries or because of the mental anguish, I'm sure he was […]

It's been a stressful day; Matt and Jonas fought at the plaza. It was a planned fight, I knew it was going to occur, but it was awful to watch. I 'm uncertain which brother was injured the most. Both of my friends had bloody lips, cuts and bruises. A couple of venders are going […]

I think Tony has forgiven me. He stopped by my room in the admin hallway yesterday. He asked to help with the Central recon mission. I guess this is his way of saying he is sorry for being mad at me. Last night, Me, Tony, Matt, and Jonas, we went to the Central campus to […]

Today I met with the leaders of our allies to discuss Xavier Boulder and his army of goons. I love community meetings. No, actually I don’t but sometimes they are a necessity. I am not a very good diplomat. I have trouble hiding my emotions. I always turn a bright shade of red when I […]

The Central Bobcats continue to cause trouble. I went to the Plaza today with Matt and Jonas. Xavier's Goons were causing trouble, stealing and taking things that didn't belong to them. The streets are filled with frustration and worry. People are missing. No proof but the word is that the Central Bobcats are behind the […]

Tony is still avoiding me. He won’t look at me. He won’t talk to me. He won’t enter a room that I am in. I wish I knew what to say. I have tried to apologize. I have never seen him this angry with anyone before. I don’t know what to do. This cold shoulder […]

I woke up early this morning. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I kept thinking about what Tony said to me yesterday. By the way he is now avoiding me. I tried to talk to him this morning, but he wasn’t interested in anything I had to say. To get my mind off things […]

I feel so bad. No one told Tony that Runt was missing. I was updating the bulletin board in the admin hall when Tony asked me where the Runt was. I just stood there and stared at him. I finally told him that I was sorry the Runt had been missing for days. I […]

The Journal Club has finished with the flyers for the up-and-coming festival. Evan, and J.T. have done a wonderful job again. It amazes me how creative they can be. They will be distributing the flyers around town today. The festival is the one time of the year when everyone gets together and has a good […]

It rained all night long. I love the rain. I seem to sleep well when it rains. It is going to be a busy day. I promised Casey I would watch the baby a little while so that she can take care of herself. She is the cutest baby. I hope Casey gets to enjoy […]

I forgot to take my journal with me yesterday. I went for a walk, a long walk. Went to my old home and someone was living there. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. It has a very homey feel. I wanted to run up to the people living there and say, “get out this is […]

It has been a long day. Matt and Jonas have still not returned with the Runt. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Runt is doing fine and that the Central Bobcats didn't catch him. Tony was his best friend, is his best friend. Speaking of Tony, he is still recovering. We are still […]

Tony is getting worse and the Runt is missing. I couldn’t find him anywhere this morning. He didn’t show for breakfast. His bike is also missing. He is too little to be out in the city alone. It would be disastrous if the Central Bobcats caught him.
July 10, 2026
We moved Tony from the basement up to the admin hallway. He is not doing well. His eye seems to be better, but his stomach is extremely bloated and painful to the touch. He isn’t holding any food down, but we are insisting that he drink water. People die from dehydration. Marty, Gretchen and Cecilia […]

I went to the market plaza today to see if I could find a pair of new shoes (old shoes). The ones I have are coming apart at the seams. My feet wouldn't fit into any of the shoes. I guess I will wear these a little longer. While I was shopping, I overheard people […]

I Dreamt about being home again last night. I swear I could almost feel and smell the clean sheets. It felt like a weekend. One of those mornings when you had a great night's sleep. A familiar smell wakes you. My mom was in the kitchen making her famous biscuits. I miss those biscuits. I […]

I take back the “I’m bored” thing. Bear Country held a meeting tonight to discuss what could be done about our missing fuel. The consensus was nothing. Asking for the fuel back wasn’t an option, taking the fuel back wasn’t an option, although two people who shall remain nameless thought, we should storm central and […]

There’s trouble in Bear Country. The Runt came running down the admin hall before sun-up this morning, he was yelling at the top of his lungs. “Get up, Get up. They took our fuel! “ I jumped off my couch and met the boy in the hallway. “Ok, we get the point.” I yelled back. […]

I finally found a new journal to write in. I found it at the plaza, and I paid a hefty price, but I desperately needed something to write my thoughts down in. You would think that a person living inside of a school building would have access to paper. Not in this school. Except for the […]
