[ WP ] A college campus is suddenly yanked into another dimension when a physics experiment goes wrong .

Almost half of us died on impact. 
 
 Anyone in west campus was instantly crushed to death as buildings and concrete impacted the reddish stone. It was n't an easy landing, and whole buildings crumbled under their own weight. Those who were inside were instantly crushed by tons of stone and brick. 
 
 Lucky bastards. 
 
 The air here's breathable, but thin. Any strenuous activity makes you feel like you've just run a mile. Among those who survived, almost half had some sort of injury so bad they could n't move. Broken leg, crushed spine, internal bleeding. We tried to care for them as best we could, but with no electricty and limited medical supplies, we lost a lot of people. 
 
 The dust storms started after the third night. You see one on the horizon, you go for shelter immediately. The unlucky ones who were caught outside the first time looked like they'd been sandblasted to death when we found them, and that probably was n't too far from the truth. 
 
 I'm praying for a food ration. The campus police seized control about three days ago, seeing as they were the only ones with weapons of any sort. They've stockpiled all the food in a warehouse not far from here, and they've been distributing it as they see fit. A few girls have been taking care of me, but I'm probably gon na die. Broken legs are a bitch. 
 
 As far as we can tell, there's no life here. Everything's just red dust and stone. A few groups have tried looking for water, but most come back with nothing, and some do n't come back at all. Soon, we'll be down to drinking from the toilet bowls. 
 
 But here's the thing - something happened last night. A giant black pillar appeared on the horizon. It's impossible to tell how far away it is or how big it is. There's been rumors that the police are mounting some sort of expedition to try and reach it. I hope I do n't die before they decide what to do. I've had a few doses of antibiotics, so hopefully I wo n't die of infection anytime soon. 
 
 Still hurts like a bitch, though. 
 
 More tomorrow.
