August 22nd
10 sets of tracks 1/2 mile NE of canyon entrance. Barefoot???
August 23rd
Saw them through scope. Corpses walking around. Finally gone crazy. Dementia maybe.
August 24th
I'm not crazy, they're real. Goddammit they are real.
Rushed me the moment they saw me, snarling like animals. They look like corpses but don't smell rotted.
I'll be putting them out of their misery. Doing for them what I never could for myself.
September 3rd
The last of them. All gone.

February 5th
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday you useless old dinosaur, happy birthday to me.
Happy 60th. What do you get a man who has everything?
A bottle of whiskey and a 12 gauge slug through the roof of the mouth! Whoo!
Come now. What do I have to do to prove to myself that I've lived long enough?
I'm a shriveled old man. White beard. Seen enough sunrises and sunsets. Saw the big sunset, been hanging on through the long night 36 years now. Ridiculous.
Not kidding myself into thinking there's anything on the other side of this. Fine. Things weren't so bad before I was born.
Char and Alex. Sylvie and Michael-who-could've-been.
Thoughts of the beloved dead before dying.
Goodbye, Zion.
February 6th
Fucking didn't do it, coward as usual. Maybe two bottles next year.

Year 2123.[]

April 25th
24 of them, half boys, half girls. Youngest is 8 maybe, oldest 13-14. Dirty and scrawny, been on foot a long time. Children's crusade.
Struck camp on nearly the same spot as los mexicanos. 30 years and a lifetime ago.
I've spent 2 nights listening to them. English. Literate. One of them reads stories while the little ones fall asleep.
They escaped someplace they call "The School" but can't figure out where it was. When they want a little one to behave they tell him to stop or "The Principal will get you."
Principal better not show up or I'll blow his goddamn head off. I can still shoot straight.

Behind the scenes[]
Fallout: New Vegas project director Joshua Sawyer further clarified what the state of the language of the Sorrows was when their progenitors arrived in Zion Canyon.[Non-game 1]

- ↑ Question: "How did the Sorrows manage to forget how to speak and read English and all the knowledge and stories gleaned from the Survivalist's gifts in less than two hundred years?"
Joshua Graham: "The Survivalist's notes may give an incorrect picture of how much English the Sorrows knew when he initially made contact. Even by that point, they were speaking a devolved pidgin language and many of them could not read."
