"I’M ALONE. I don’t have much food. The temperature is dropping. No one is coming for me. It will be winter soon, and there are so many ways to die out here. If the cold doesn’t get me, the hunger will. If the hunger doesn’t get me, the cold will. Or some wild animal. Or those men will come back .
. . But I’m not dead yet, and someone should know. Someone should know what happened. So I’m writing it down, as best I can. In pieces, because that’s the way it is in my head, all tangled up. There are two beginnings to this story. One of them is on a tarmac in Alaska. The other’s standing on a lakeshore with the rain falling on me like mist, the cabin’s timbers smoldering, sullen and red. I’ll tell you both stories, what happened before my father died and what happened after. And when I’m done or when I’m too weak to write anymore, I’ll leave this notebook where the cabin was. If someone comes looking for us, for me, maybe they’ll find it. So if you’re reading this, I’m probably dead. But for a while, I survived.
My name is Jess Cooper, and I am still alive."
Huo ni utangulizi wa Novel ya I am Still Alive by Kate Alice Marshall.
