I found my dad. I wasn't sure if he was really here. Figured it was either 2006 or 2007.. maybe 2005. But I found him. There's two of him. The older one doesn't seem to think it's me yet. I don't know. I think.. I'm thinking in his world, something bad happened to me.
I prolly know why too, if that thing that was after me back there is any indication That's probably why my older dad doesn't joke about anything or whatever. He thought I was some ghost, or some demon pretending to be me just to tease him. But I am me. Even if I was pretending something, I wouldn't do that. I'd.. umm... maybe throw water balloons, or have a bucket on a door, maybe toilet paper on trees. Or I'd somehow arrange the stereo to only play rock music, and very loud too.
I've been calling myself Luke. It's part of my middle name. I just didn't want to get caught by the wrong people.. like that evil law firm. I don't know exactly why they're really "evil", but my dad said so, and that he doesn't want me involved with them. He seemed serious.
Of course he can be a bit overprotective But I also read tyhat they kidnap people. I don't want them to get me, not ever. I have told some people my name, but I guess I can let it out now. As long as bad people don't know. My name is Jakob. Jake works too. Ohh.. or JakeLuke. I liked that one, it's cool. Or JT. Whatever works easiest. Also, some more facts; I was born in 2011. It was July 3rd, 2020 at the last time I remember.
There's one little problem though. Does anyone know if we're going back? Not sure I want to. But we all just might anyway. I'm trying to figure what moment we'll be back there. Will it be just a moment after we did.. whatever we were doing, before being sent here? In my case... being chased and nearly killed by a big ugly demon. Though for me dad's mind, it did happen. I'm afraid that when I go back, it.. I'll be... you know.
Come on, keep it together I'm really trying to think of some way to make sure I live long enough to make it to my house. Or to another safe place. Definitely not gonna take a big gun.. really, I'm
nine, so that limits things. I don't know. There must be something I can do. Anything, whatever it is, I'll do it, or use it.
I'd prefer escape But I'm really hoping
every night that I'll arrive a day or two later from the late I vanished.

[Filtered to Welcome Center peeps]I just want to thank you all for helping me, for letting me stay. Keeping me safe. I'm not
really going away, just gonna live with my dad. I'd have called him soon as I came that night, I just couldn't find him, plus wasn't sure he was here too. I've seen him a couple days ago at the park, and saw him again in the morning. He seemed really happy when he learned that he'll have me later. And I didn't lose a toe! That's the best part. I was really worried about it. But I can still visit or hang out with any of you if you'd want. Maybe we can go to another arcade, or watch movies. Oh! Or maybe a rock concert? Those are always fun.

[Filtered to AI]You're all awesome.. trust me, you'll keep being that cool in the future too. There's still bad stuff. But there's still people fighting it too. Fred, thanks for helping me with the computer stuff, and al the advice. I'll be sure to remember it.
I was thinking about joining a team when I'm older. But my.. well, I'm not super-powered, and what I can do isn't very big. Just making others happy and something about machines doing stuff. Maybe I'll try books. Or maybe exercise every single day. Anyway... just wanted to say thanks for helping this city. Even though things are very crazy now.
Gets even crazier later![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
