Diary of a Plague

Diary of a Plague

You will notice there are some dots and dashes on my diary. This is how I open and close my diaries. It's Morse Code, but in my handwriting it might look off. I read THE WATCH THAT ENDS THE NIGHT and I liked how it looked. After I put the date, I write "Dear Renee." That is the name of my diary. I also sign off GNOM, Good Night Old Man, which is something I learned in that book. This is how the telegraphers signed off. And then I write my name, Sophonisba.

Sophonisba F., age 15
