This just keeps getting better and better.

Sorry. I’m really on edge now. When I get tense, I have a tendency to get even more sarcastic and snarky than usual. I haven’t heard anything from home… either of them. Or Kris. Or my uncle. I haven’t tried Rana again. I did hear from , which good. He’s in Germany. Sounds like things where he is are fairly normal.

I’d give a LOT for “normal” right now.

In the past couple of hours, we have had people showing up in our office… from other offices in the building. I didn’t think much of it. At first. Then, they didn’t stop coming. They still haven’t stopped. It’s not quite “asses and elbows” in here, but at this rate, it won’t be long.

It doesn’t help that some people seem to be bordering on hysteria. For the most part, things have been okay. There’s a lot of confusion, but I think that the whole “safety in numbers” thing has come into play. Someone mentioned something about seeing someone getting attacked. That didn’t do anything but help fan the fires again.

Speaking of which, the freeway hasn’t gotten any better, either. At least the cars have stopped piling into each other. And people. That fight I mentioned earlier just seemed to be the tip of the iceberg. More of them have broken out. And, it’s really kind of surreal – the people aren’t just throwing punches or kicking. It’s just general mauling, as far as I can tell. And there are just… dogpiles of people down there. It’s a bloody mess. It looks like a couple of people start throwing punches and then this mob just swarms over them. It’s kind of sick.

There’s smoke all around the valley now. I heard sirens a while ago, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a police car or fire truck. I bet the cats are freaking out. In all of the confusion, I completely forgot about them. They’re probably under the bed going nuts.

LifeFlight just flew past. They kind of hovered over the bend in 215, like they were looking for a place to land. They dropped down a bit… and then jetted off. That can’t be a good sign.

I haven’t been able to get anything that looks like reliable news. Tons of reports of similar incidents all over the country: Mobs attacking people. Bloody messes everywhere. Lots of “Stay inside” and “don’t go out” notices. I really hope that everyone back home is okay.

Nine Hells. More people. *sigh* I’d better go.
