Arthur Maerwynn's Handbook - Page 2.
I am starting to think the combine has some serious problems. Not sure if they are sadic and evil, or just stupid. Maybe both. This must change. Citizens can easily outwit most units. Igor is working with contraband all day. I'm afraid he's liking it. I'm not a fan of the resistance. Some say they're even worse than the combine. Paranoid, fearing ZEALOTs day and night. I might be wrong. I'm just tired, and my body aches. My head aches so much after that....Yes, I didn't write about it... I was shot. It all happened so fast. One moment I was watching a couple facing a firesquad execution, the other, I was waking up, didn't know where. And finally, I woke up totally. I was on fire. I don't even know how I survived. Woke up today, in my bed, Igor bringing me water, and my body was all bandages. He said it got pretty ugly. Luckly, my face is unharmed.
I don't want to talk about this anymore. I don't wish that to anyone. It is just...just Hell. I'll never forget that laugh.
