 Fourteen years have now passed. I can ’ t believe it has been fourteen years, that ’ s crazy! Anyway tonight I ’ m going out with friends. There is this new bar called Feugo ’ s that has opened up and now that I can legally dink I thought I might try it! Like I said last time, this has been a long time coming! I might even try it with Ariana tonight. Jack is coming to, he said that we could `` wingman'' each other, he has some proper sick ideas for drinking games before hand to. Going to be one hell of a wild night! I would write for longer but got to get ready for tonight man! Am I looking forward this! Peace Out x

 So I just found this old diary of mine. Ten years since my last post, you can tell to as there ain ’ t much left of it! Just read through the last post left in the thing and it is not pretty! Although to be fair I do still rember that night and it was indeed wild, I did get with Ariana in the end! 
 
 
 So what has changed in ten years? Well certainly not the infant mortality rate, which is the same and has been for 24 years now! I know, not funny. Seriously not much has changed, well nothing to big anyway. I guess the university thing is big. The only surviving school or university in the whole world is Oxford now. No new people for uni for six years, so tehy they where all just haemorrhaging money. I mean that is pretty big! Oh actually there is one thing, there is a twenty year old called Alison Brandi and she has just signed a contract worth almost 1 billion dollars over ten years. She works in the adult industry and obviously they are craving for the youngsters. I know sex sells but 1 Billion is absolutely bonkers, it is the premium you pay for the youngest person on earth. Still, it is quite the investment. 
 
 
 It is quite odd actually I am only 24 and yet I ’ m seen as old. Jack reckons we are going to be screwed by the time we grow we old. Who is going to pay our pension, who is going to care for us? I told him he was exaggerating they ’ ll develop a proper test tube baby soon, he does n't agree. One minute he is having a laugh and the next he gets all serious! I mean I love the man but he can be a bit of a downer sometimes he is not as bad as the rest of them though. Everyone always seems so bleak! They are always moaning about everything, they all walk round expressionless! At least the government know what they are doing, investing in the future; they are talking about selling off some services to set up funding for research into why the infertility thing happened. It will help us get to the bottom of the problem and solve it. Anyway I better be off man, see you soon. Peace Out.

 I dug this out thinking I could read about Jack but it hasn ’ t helped. As I write this, I write with a heavy heart and lump in my throat. Today Jack officially passed on. I don ’ t know what to do with myself. I ’ ve been trying to keep myself occupied but I just can ’ t do it. Even something simple like the news won ’ t help. It is just all stories about the collapse in Sierra Leone. I forget momentarily but then it all comes flooding back. The pictures of the government don ’ t help either. I ’ m just heartbroken. He was my best friend and now there is nothing, he just doesn ’ t exist! How can a man go from being there to just not? I can ’ t take it. 
 
 It is the governments fault. They are running out of money because there are less workers to earn them money and more pensioners to pay. They sold pretty much everything, including the health service. The owners are just trying to make as much money as they can now, when you couple that with the fact that the population is constantly decreasing, it means that the human body has now become a finite and valuable resource. In fact it has now become a commodity. Jack was blood type AB which was already rare he needed a transfusion because his kidney was n't working, something like that, but by now it has become far too expensive. Only the rich can afford it and the poor take the brunt. This country is going to the dogs. The world is going to the dogs. 
 
 
 Even last week Sierra Leone officially ceased to exist as a country. The men and women who farm there have relied on their children and young men for generations but obviously that has become a problem. No one could do the work efficiently meaning families could n't feed which made an already low life expectancy almost non-existent. Everything is just starting to tip. I had n't really thought about how bad it was, I just kept living like most do. Jacks death has opened my eyes though. Now that his constant pessimism is gone I realise that he was right all along.

 It is almost done now. The government has fallen completely; they've sold everything, what is left to do? They still exist but they do nothing, nothing. Men in suits control everything, the government could n't afford to pay me or give me a pension whereas the fat cat business man could. Naturally I flew to the fat cat. It is so hard to get job though, the fall of most of Europe, Asia and Africa has resulted in mass immigration. Those people are willing to work for next to nothing so we have to as well if we want a job and I need one. There is almost nothing left. The government has no power; the people are under the control of business. Nothing can be done. I ’ m starting to think that maybe I should have listened more to Jack all those years ago, we could have got out early. Each year the retirement age is pushed further and further back and each year I regret what will come with the next.

 I am now 56 years of age. I have out lived most everyone and thing I have ever known. I don ’ t know who will read this. Maybe evolution will create a new breed of sentient beings but more likely not. This journal will become like my life, pointless and aimless. Nothing happens anymore. All structures have collapsed, not a single large business or government remain anywhere in the world. There is simply nothingness. I ’ m sitting on a boat sailing across the pacific while writing this. I just needed to get out of England, out of Europe and ideally I just want out. I ’ m hoping the boat will crash and we will drown. I have no skills anymore, no one does. The youngest man on this planet is 52, within a few years even they will become incapable then soon after they will die. I am by no means old but I feel as though I have had enough. I gave the last of the caps I owned to a sailor about to head off and here I am. He is sitting in his cabin and I ’ m out here on the deck. I ’ ve tried three times already to just be done with it and jump but every time I do, I can ’ t. 
 
 
 These last few years have pushed me over the edge, derelict streets and buildings everywhere. Rarely a person in sight, only few remained and soon it would be none. The entire population would be gone, a world savaged by violence, greed and destruction. These streets where excessive and big because of mans greed, they were busy and lively because of mans greed and now they lie barren because of mans greed. I am and have been used to loneliness for a while now but not emptiness, emptiness is different. I don ’ t know if it was God who took away the children or if it was science. There is one thing I am sure of though, we brought this upon ourselves. Our people fought each other for scraps, they fought each other for entitlement and greed and in the end they fought each other because they knew nothing else. Greed was what made man great and greed is what made man fall.
