Artie has a fever. He's had one for a few days now, the local clerics don't seem to know what is wrong. I spend all my day keeping cool presses on him and feeding Reggie and Gin, who are both still latching. Mary has been such a help, but she's still only a young child. I do hope Artie gets better soon. I am so tired.

Purpose

Reggie seems to be sick now. All she does is sleep or cry, I can barely get her to eat anything. Artie is not any better, in fact he seems to be worse. The clerics have told our family we need to stay in our home and not go to the market or anything, in case. In case.
Sil has been gone for a week, and he doesn't know the children are sick. I have no way to contact him... I feel so powerless.

I cannot sleep anymore. I stay up all night and day, watching my children take their labored breathes. If I close my eyes, even for a moment, I might miss it. Their last moments. Mary is the only one who remains unafflicted by the illness and she seems to have aged 10 years in the last week. She has been preparing basic meals and keeping me alive, so I may keep her siblings alive. I don't know what would happen if she gets sick.
The lack of sleep is getting to me. I keep seeing shadows in the corner of my eye.

I fell asleep today for a few hours. Mary kept the children comfortable while i slept, filled with fitful dreams. If I shared then with anyone they would think me mad and would send me away. I cannot leave my children's sides.

Mary started complaining of the heat today. the chill outside is biting and I have the fire low so the fevers don't swell. And yet, her cheeks are flushed. I know she has it. She has the same illness her siblings do.
Which of my children will die first?

29 of Evocate, 283
Artie can barely move. He can barely breathe. SIl returned today and he has sent me to sleep while he cares for the kids. But I cannot be away from them. What if they die in the meantime?

The gods might be illegal, but please, is there anyone left to listen? Can anyone help? I'll do anything.
The shadows are growing longer.

20 of Illude, 283
What wouldn't you do to save your children? What whispering shadow would you listen to?
May the old gods forgive me.
