"Sir, we recovered this journal from the scene of the crime... apparently it belongs to a guy named Jerall... it's pretty gruesome, sir..."

Think you can stop me?

Day 1: I must thank that old man for giving this book... whatever the title may be... the things inside are among the greatest things ever! it details so many things once you learn how to decipher it's contents! i get the feeling (or it could be that last beer) that i could actually unlock something in here that no one else could possibly comprehend! no wonder he gave it to me... such a book would be terrible in the wrong hand... but according to this book... it's a form of magic called Necromancy... i honestly thought that it was refering to the idiotic pop culture necromancers, but no, this is the real thing! reanimating the dead and binding the souls of the dead into things, even controlling organic matter of all sorts and even completely destroying it!

From what i've read so far, one must have some form of innate power... i don't know what it means by that, but by creating a circle with one's arms and hands, one can circulate this energy and manipulate it with nothing but willpower to guide and direct it...

Day 36: I did it! i finally learned how to control my powers! well, at least the destruction of organic things at least... i managed to completely destroy my neighbor's annoying dog when it tried to bite me the other day. all i did was clap my hands together on accident, then the mutt tried to bite my hands. As soon as it's teeth touched my skin it's head suddenly blew up in a flash of red light! i was drenched in blood after the explosion but i managed to get away without being seen and cleaned myself off. This is making me really excited! maybe i can bring them back! if i can destroy i can create... just wait, my mom and Kyle will walk and breathe again!

Day 423: ... this is getting troublesome... i finally managed to land myself a job at the morgue and i was being questioned by the police... that Hadrian Bradford is getting on my nerves... always snooping around my place, looking for something... thank goodness i managed to make myself a hidden cellar in my basement using my powers... hope my neighbor doesn't mind the new hill in his backyard... but it's perfect down there... i made sure no sound can escape it and absolutely no light can either, the entrance is concealed perfectly because i made sure that only I can enter it by using my powers... still, on the off chance that someone runs through my apartment with some TNT, i'll have to be careful... and all the bodies down there can really make a stink! i guess some maintenance is in order...

The book is getting troublesome too... it takes a lot to try and bind a spirit using the suggested binding circle... and i'm not just talking about the blood offerings... all i managed to do with the last girl was attach the soul for a few seconds! even for that it claimed all of the flesh of the body! still... I'm making progress... whereas before i could only ressurect animals like dogs and cats, no i can bring back humans, albeit very briefly... I'll need to gather more bodies soon... i think i'll try my luck over in Queens... there are some rather lovely bodies over there... thought i might have seen Rouze a while ago too... though i couldn't be sure...
