I don't know why I'm writing.  It doesn't seem to make a difference.  Anyone who wishes to can read this, and everyone knows what goes on anyhow.  I suppose I write in this in the hope that some future generation will find use from this.  Or, perhaps, it just symbolizes my hope that we will have future generations.  If we don't then perhaps this will never be read.
I'm running out of pages to write on.  This journal was burnt when I found it, missing many pages.  There is a stationary store here.  It's still standing, and the way to it is almost clear.  When we've gained access to it I'll check for more journals.
I can hear Anne screaming.  She went into labor last night.  Right now the man who made her pregnant, and another fertile female are with her.  Dan and Karen.  I don't know if names are important, but I will try to list names when I write about people.  I'm outside Anne's room, along with the other fertile people.  We're both frightened and hopeful.
The screams have stopped now.  I stopped writing for a while, and checked in on her.  She's still in labor....the screams have started again.  Oh do we hope.  If she has a healthy baby, I won't worry so much about the child I now carry inside of me.  Any children we have can make or break our future.
If there is a god, I will pray for a healthy baby.  If there's one healthy, there will be more.  Please, please let Anne's child be alive and healthy.
