The Bonfire

Dr. Nathanial Barnes, I write to you now in hopes that you might triumph where I have failed. My name is Dr. Samuel Montgomery, and I am the last living member of the Arclight research team. I have pieced this account, together from my own recollection and firsthand accounts from those who were there at the time. I write this being of sound mind and body, under no duress other than by the consequences of my own actions. It is getting colder now, and my cough is getting worse but it is my mind I fear the virus will take before I can finish this writing. I pray, this will find you while there is still time. We can go back, back to the beginning, I remain confident of that much.
