September 7th, 2004 – Undisclosed Location in Grenada
We aren’t very sorry for the crimes that we committed. Our political killings were what we believed in, but we weren’t successful in 1983. As reports of this storm spread throughout this seventeenth century prison, we are hopeful that the storm might give us some way of escaping. It is just a faint hope, however.
September 8th, 2004
The rain has started to pick up heavily. The winds are getting louder, but no damage has been done to the prison, at least for now. Our chance to escape may still be approaching, however.
September 9th, 2004
This storm is the worst I have seen in years. Earlier in the day, there was enough damage done to the prison where we were able to escape, at long last. The people of Grenada must be terrified that the men they put behind bars are now loose, but that is what they get for putting is in an old prison. The government will not be prepared for this kind of damage and destruction, so we can go looting as we please. All the buildings that we have seen so far have been destroyed, so I think that at least ninety percent of the island’s buildings have damage to them. This destruction will only aid us in our quest, and hopefully we will be able to finish what we failed to do in the past.

Almost all the homes I have passed through so far have been destroyed, which has helped with the looting. Some students have taken up weapons in an attempt to stop looting, but there are so many choices that we have just avoided resistance where it occurs. The Grenada government has done little to respond to the damage of the storm, as they themselves appear to have been hit exceptionally hard. It appears that the best response so far has been from England, as I see an English battleship off the coast. If the English help the Grenada government intervene, our freedom may be short-lived.
