My baby sitter Amy told me about how she keeps this journal, she says it helps her to I don't know get things out, take the weight of her shoulders by having it written down. So I decided to give it a try, mainly because I've got a lot on my mind, and nobody to talk to about it. So I guess I'll start with the basics that I know.

My name is Hal Greene, I am seven...I know a seven year old writing a diary/journal. My mum is this amazing scientist, her name is Lucy Greene. My dad is some kind of officer at her work, he keeps things in check. They take me to the lab all the time, and at first I loved the place, I mean who wouldn't it's amazing. But everyone there looks at me strangely and act cautiously around me, like their expecting me to suddenly loose it, go crazy. I would usually ignore it until a couple days ago, when I accidently listened into a conversation between my mum and her boss Harvey.

I was in my mums office on her computer, I'm not supposed to be in there alone, don' know why. But my mum and Harvey started to enter the room so I quickly ducked under the table, I knew I would get in big trouble if caught. And I couldn't help but listen in while there.

"How is subject 21B?" Harvey had asked.

"I wish you would stop calling him that, he is my son." My first thought there was, there talking about me, but 21B? What's that mean? "No change. His sleep walking has begun to happen more frequently, but it's not unusual for children to sleep walk, but he is perfectly normal, just like I tell you every day."

"That's good."

My sleep walking, why would she even mention it? Lately I've been waking up in different places, hell once I woke up in the fire escape of our building.

I managed to get out without them realizing that I was there, but I don't know what to think. Should I ignore it or not?
