Day 1
So, as of writing this, its been a couple hours since I woke up here the second time, I don't know where I am, and I'm scared as hell, and I feel like this is the only way to keep my head on straight.
So here's what happened.
I just got done helping some guy fix up an old trap out in the woods, another odd-job that pays the bills. I had to walk halfway through a forest with a shitty path to guide me, then walk all the way back to my car, so I was tired, it was dark and snowy, and I don't drive in those conditions, so I decided to take a nap, or go to sleep, depending on when I woke up, so I started my car blasted the hot air so till it was sweltering, then shut it all down, leaving an alarm to go off in two hours on my phone, then I passed out under some some of my blankets.
When I woke up I was still warm thankfully, sure it was colder, but not frosty yet, but it was pretty dark but I thought nothing of it, thinking the snow had picked up and now my car was covered. I wasn't worried in the slightest, that is until I checked my phone, and this is what I saw.
That wasn't my phone background at all, it was just some weird symbols all of a sudden, that's when I starter to freak out. I tried to open my door at that point, expecting to meet some resistance, but there was none, and I just shoved it fully open into inky blackness.
From the dim light of my phone I see some dirt and rock right outside my car, and more darkness. I reach over to my glove box and grab my flashlight and turn it on, stepping out of my car.
Right in front of my car is a one foot lip of stone then a giant chasm , my car bumper casually resting almost over the edge. “What the fuck!” I yell out, angry, confused and scared, my voice echoing in the silent cave. I must be dreaming I thought, pinching myself, nope still hurts. I look around some more, about 10 feet away is a wall on my left and on my right, another 10 feet, and to my rear is just a tunnel slowly curving left. I carefully get back in my car and start it. It roars awake in the quiet cave, making me jump, finally I calm down again and start to reverse the car, slowly inching my way from the edge, scraping the bumper on the lip, making me wince, “c'mon, you got this!” I whisper to the car. Making my way back about 30 ft before I park it again, and pop the trunk, pulling out some old wood, and chuck the wheels, like hell am I rolling away now. I take a sec and lie down again, trying to calm down, thinking about what I'm gonna do, and that's when I fell asleep for the first night.

This transition is fairly jarring. It makes me unsure of whether I understand what's going on.
Also, when did the journalist write this entry? There is a transition in verb tense from past to present marked by the quoted entry. Is that couple paragraphs not a part of his first journal entry?
If he's called out to do odd jobs, maybe gramma isn't his thing? When people do diary entries they don't worry.😶
Well that was disgracefully short. Hope thats not what I should expect from chapters
Interesting
Diary entries are cool, but how could he have written what happened in present tense in regards to the last sentence. That would seem more like Diary entry 2 to me.
Seems interesting. I wonder how he will deal with this?
Also, what's the update schedule going to be like?
gonna be trying to update once a day like an actual diary, but sometimes it'll be shorter or longer than others.
@lokiandcoded sounds great, and also reasonable. I look forward to it.
