Jam-A-Grams

April 25, 2050
Hi, I’m Quinn, and I’m part of a cult.

A cult controlled by phantoms that watch my every move. How would I be writing this, then? The phantoms allowed me to have a journal. One journal that wasn’t monitored at all. This one. The only thing that’s monitored in this journal is where it goes. So I am safe to write about anything I want. I can write if I am in a cult, for example.

I struggle with trust issues because of the phantoms always watching my every move. They probably have security cameras right now, just watching me, a terrified fox, write her life story here as she slowly dies. Am I being entertaining enough for you, phantoms? I want to know.

I also struggle with paranoia. I am always scared someone is watching me, along with other things. Of course, people judging me and people watching me is always scary to think about. Whenever someone brings it up (which is almost never), I get really scared.

There are 50 members in the cult, excluding the phantoms (and including me), and they all think exactly the same. I think similar to them, sure, but I also deviate sometimes from their norms, just like what I’m writing now.

I want to leave.

I want to leave. I don’t want to stay here forever, rotting in this cult. They’ll probably eat my body when I die. I don’t want to be eaten. That’s absolutely disgusting. Whenever someone dies here, no matter how they die, we have to eat their bodies. Sometimes, I eat the bodies, no questions asked. Other times, however, I refuse. Then, I am forced to eat the bodies. Gross.

Anyways, I usually deviate from the other 49 members one day, and then I behave similar to them the next day. That is why there is journal entries missing, or maybe I was too lazy to make some.

Yeah, have I stressed how much I want to leave this place? I wanna leave really badly. I don’t have another way to communicate with people besides Jam-A-Grams. They’re sent to someone at random from the outside world (or outside the cult) when you first send one, and then it sends to the same person from that day forward. I had never used mine, either because I didn’t want to or I wanted to save it for a more important time. I guess if I really want to leave, I have to JAG someone. I should probably work out what I will say, though, to get past the phantom’s heavy rules on what you can and can’t say to the outside world. Things you can‘t say include, but are not limited to: The phantoms don’t even let us know where we are, so how are we supposed to tell the outside world our location?
 * Your location
 * Your name (nicknames are permitted)
 * Negative comments about where you are located
