Fire & Resources

First Few Days

The reality hasn't quite set in yet... Is it a bad dream? Is it just a big hoax?

​

The power supply is intermittent, the water is still flowing through the taps which is good. The gas has gone off though. Which is weird.

​

I've still got tins of food but it's getting cooler in the evening. I need to be able to make a fire with the bits I've got as my lighter is half empty and I only have a single box of matches left...
