You can expect that whoever made this log will have recorded events up until their last breath. If the heroes (and thus the audience) choose to read this log from the beginning, the log will no doubt start and progress the same way, with hopeful characters recording the casual details of their lives and work, until things start going sideways and the entries shift towards concern, disbelief, desperation and/or (ultimately) insanity. The [[ThatWasTheLastEntry final]] -- and [[ConservationOfDetail usually the most important]] -- entry may range from incoherent gibberish as the remaining character tries to warn the world of what happened to them, to a final cogent statement [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture warning the reader]] not to repeat their mistake (or how to otherwise clean up after them).

In these cases, the author undergoing stress and SanitySlippage is usually coveyed by various ways of PaintingTheMedium; such as graudually forgetting to log the time and date of their entries (or even outright denoting time and date as "unknown", and claiming they have no readily available way of finding out or approximating the current time), starting to include typos and misspellings and losing their grasp on sentence structure and proper punctuation, and even beginning to write in AllLowercaseLetters. The [[ThatWasTheLastEntry final]] -- and [[ConservationOfDetail usually the most important]] -- entry may range from incoherent gibberish as the remaining character tries to warn the world of what happened to them, to a final cogent statement [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture warning the reader]] not to repeat their mistake (or how to otherwise clean up after them).

* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'': One of the letters sent to the Emperor in the second Q&A session takes this form, written by a man left behind on a world affected by the [[https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Tyrant_Star Tyrant Star]]. Notable for containing almost no humor in it at all, with the exception of a mention of a "hyper-realistic Furby" (which cried 666 liters of blood as the Star's influence reached its peak). It's mentioned that the letter was discovered sealed in a box on a ruined planet devoid of life, explaining how it got delivered.

FoundFootageFilms are movies that use this as their framing device. DeadlineNews is a related trope where the very bad thing happens to the TV news crew reporting live on it; UnintentionalFinalMessage is another related trope where the doomed sender doesn't know they're about to die.
