Jim kept a diary. At first, it was just to give himself something to do, but he soon realised that it was a letter to Olivia. He only hoped that one day she might get to read it and understand what it had been like for him after the collapse. He started writing on New Year’s Eve, a day on which he always felt lonely.
He wondered why he was writing to Olivia, wondered how she would read it given that he had no means of posting it and no way of knowing where she was even if he did.
