Dear Diary

What an awful moment for all of us! Filthy water, icebergs, slimy creatures, haunted spirits, fog and mist, suffering and no hope of survival. I wonder what will happen to all of us. It was completely opposite when we had started our journey. It was a clear and bright day; we all were happy; the sun was shining brightly. When we reached the equator, suddenly, a terrible storm hit and forced the ship southwards. We were struck in the land of snow and mist. Nothing was visible due to fog. We were surrounded by the icebergs and there was not even a single sign of life around. There was no place to steer the ship. Finally, an albatross emerged from the land of mist and we felt lucky as it was a sign of good omen. Its arrival was positive because the weather had started changing. Every day it used to come at vespers nine to get food from us and play with us. We all were happy to have him on our ship. But, our happiness changed into remorse, when the Ancient Mariner killed the auspicious bird with his bow and arrow. He killed it instinctively, without any reason. From that moment, our lives changed. The weather was again full of fog and mist. The water surrounded us was filthy, full of slimy creatures and was not potable. We were struck there in the ocean. It seamed our ship was a painted ship in a painted ocean. The water at night seemed to change colour. We dreamed that the spirit had followed us from the icy world. I am feeling regretful and remorseful because the killing of the albatross had brought us bad luck and suffering. I do not think we will be able to survive in such conditions. I can only pray to the God to save us from this hell created due to the Ancient Mariner?s sin.

Dear Diary

I'm mentally exhausted today. But, at the same time, I am happy and peaceful because I was finally able to rescue Sebastian from the War Zone. But the shocking discovery that I made today was that Sebastian was a real boy who lived in the real world. Every day, while playing games, I used to receive a message from a virtual Sebastian to help him escape the Jail, Dragon quest or war zone. But today, I received a real mail from the real Sebastian thanking me for my help. I'm feeling contented because I was able to rescue my fellow player finally. It feels really good and I am very happy. Sebastian had met with an accident while playing psycho-drive games on his computer. I got those games from a computer fair and when I switched on my computer to play, I found Sebastian as a virtual character. I helped him escape, considering it to be a part of the game so that I could make a big score. I actually hit the jackpot but I was happy at heart that I had rescued Sebastian though at that time, I considered him to be a character in the psycho-drive game. But today I am shocked as well as happy to know that Sebastian has recovered and is completely fine. I am totally relaxed and peaceful now. I am looking forward to meet him soon. But I feel I would not like to play these psycho-drive games any more.
