Journal entry 1
Hi my name is Michael Osborne. I am.... was a freelance mythologist and writer. Don't really know why I'm writing this, but why not, anything to help keep my sanity for longer is welcome.
I've been here for what, three days? a week? Can't really tell. I knew I shouldn't have taken the shady deal but curiosity got the better of me. Blinded by the desire to know, I got stuck down here. Well no use crying over spilled milk.
This place it creepy though. The reporters said something about Jewish ruins. Everyone was saying it might be king Solomon's tomb or something like that.
The government locked down the place before anyone could enter. Well they did a darn poor job of doing that, given I was able to sneak in! Well at least I can hope people will come in soon.
Between going to jail and being stuck here, I'm sure the answer is obvious. Just have to survive till then.... yeah just focus on staying alive.

Don't know how long I've been here. This damn place makes it a nightmare to keep time.
It keeps messing with my head. I would have counted, but for some reason I can't seem to get past a few minutes. I'm scared. This place is weird. I've searched around a little for an exit. Seems like I'm stuck in some kind of room.
The place has no form of light yet I'm able to see perfectly fine. Wait. Why am I just finding that odd now? I've been here for some time, two weeks I think, but I'm not feeling the hunger set in. Why haven't they come for me yet.
At least mom would have known I was missing. I was .... am a kind of shut in. Well.... it's kinda my fault for not telling her where I was going so.... yeah. No one's coming for me right? Figures. Oh well I'll just keep looking around. Hope I find something.

I've been spending quite some time wall hugging. Trying to find a trigger or a button or something other than a wall. What? You asking me for the time? Where are you from? The stone age? Who uses time this days? All that exists are journal entries. Lord, so outdated.
What? You saying you didn't ask? But you did. I heard you clearly. You calling me a liar?! But that's what you just meant! Well fuck you too! What you talking about? Only friend?! Lies! I have others. .....fine. You win. You're the only reason I haven't gone insane yet.
You say soon? What's happening soon? Shouldn't worry?! That's what makes me worried. Oh, now we are playing the silence game, right? Fine! Be that way. I'll find out myself once I leave this room. Then we'll know who'll be laughing.

I found it! Yesterday? The day before? Can't tell, but I found some kind of switch. Looks like all my wall hugging paid off. Now you may be asking why I haven't gone in yet. That's an easy question to answer. I can't, Journal-san said I shouldn't. The tone of his voice told me that wasn't a request. I've decided to honor the time we spent together and listen to him. It should be fine if I wait another few entries. I hope I'm not going to regret waiting.

It's time to flip that switch. It's also my last Journal entry. Thanks buddy, if I survive, I'll make sure you go into some museum or something. What? I'm not crying, there's just dust in my eye. There's no dust in here? Well, if I say dust got into my eye then it did. You calling me a liar? .... Well, time to get going. See you in another life Journal-san. Bye.
