9.01am
This was the worst idea you have come up with. It is crowded this morning all the schoolkids are here, and some younger college people they're here with their partners, like they needed an excuse to run away from the house and found themselves a good reason. The streets are clear, they're saying it could be upto an hour late. Don't know how I let myself get talked into this.
9.57am
They're handing out packed lunches, I got thinking of something good, realized it's four pieces of soggy bread with butter and jam, an apple, some raisins and what looks to be the strangest dessert I've seen. Not my idea of a feast at least this will take me through the day, was thinking of calling the whole thing off.
10.33am
A big convoy of police vehicles drove past by us, they said this is where they take the bomb sniffing devices and all of that, make sure nobody planted mine on the road and bridges whatever. Still two hours left, if they were going to actually plant something bad, it'd probably be after waiting for a bit, it's not as if the evil people are prepared for their conspiracies on time.
11.22am
No sign of anything, no news around either. The sun is beating down upon us, it was fortunate we carried the flask of juice this morning. They've taken some of the younger schoolchildren who've been standing from much earlier out, apparently many were exhausted or dehydrated. So that's the good news, the line has opened up and we have a better view at what's happening. The bad news is, if this keeps on for another two hours, we'll be taken out in the strechers ourselves.
12.01pm
There was a false call of something good, everybody got all hushed and excited and people started singing nationalistic songs, so we got excited and took the camera out, but nobody showed up, not even a goddamn escort vehicle like earlier. At this point we're ready to point and shoot at some horses with funny tassles on their heads and call it a day, this is way more work than I was expecting.
12.47pm
News has been circulating that the flight has landed and the convoy should pass by in less than an hour. Or thirty minutes. I made up the last part. We know the plane has landed...well....a plane has landed and it sounded big by the sounds of it, so there's something good going on. Can't wait, this is taking forever.
01.11pm
Five minutes, they're saying it'll be only five minutes, everyone is on alert, the security dogs are going wild, there's an eerie silence. Don't know if I'll ever get to see this all from this point of view again. Feeling so excited. Maybe you were right, it wasn't such a bad idea after all. Might have to apologize, you should come see us if this works out.
01.22pm
We can already hear the roar of cheers coming in from the other part of the town, this is getting close. This is possibly the most important day of our lives. Thank you so much for setting this up. Again, please come see us very soon because you know how things get complicated after.
01.27pm
This is going to be the last text from this line, you know what's happening next. You know what to do. Stay safe and take care. I'll see you from the other side.
08.49pm
We made it. Ask for the appointment with us in this number later tomorrow. The secretary is going to arrange it. Unclear what will happen of the former body and the logistics associated with it. I was able to figure it out quick, they'll probably do it too. See you tomorrow. Deleting this message now.
