I kind of had this idea a while back when I was having some trouble with a friend with whom I had fallen in love, but didn't want a serious relationship. So after a month or so of thinking about it, I finally took the short story that I originally wanted to write and turned it into what I have now. It's not really a story, but it's an original work that doesn't really fit in with Poetry and Lyrics, so here it is. It's partially based on real life (for example, she and I do have plans to go to Godaikocon) mixed with a few fictional details here and there. Any backstory not explicitly stated is to be inferred on the part of the reader, and I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with in that department. Share your speculation and constructive criticism in replies below. Enjoy. Hiya. Just wanted to send this soon so it would get to you before Tanabata so you'll remember about it. I've actually been writing this over the course of several days, so if it seems badly written and not connected very well from paragraph to paragraph, or even sentence to sentence, that's why. Now before anything, I'd like to say thanks for being such a great friend for the past few years. It really means a lot to me that I managed to find at least a few people who hang around me for more than just to laugh behind my back about how stupidly they think I act and even more so that you're one of them. I think I can honestly say that what we have as friends I'll never be able to build with anyone else. Thanks for that. Enclosed is a red string for you to tie around your neck as a memento of sorts for this paragraph. I don't really know what to call it. Just make sure you remember what I said here. Oh yeah, we didn't win that contest. To be honest, we probably should have practiced more beforehand, but it was still pretty fun anyway. Now I just have to get some kind of prepaid debit card so I can pay for the game itself. I had another one, but that one was $100 which I decided to use only to buy games from Valve on Steam. And on Tanabata, don't forget to make a wish! It's on July 7th. I'd enclose a bamboo leaf, piece of paper, and a pen for you to do that with, but I'm afraid the post will somehow scan the letter and think the leaf is some kind of drug and not send the letter. I guess I'm just paranoid like that. So just do it in your head I guess. Or something. I dunno. And, of course, I'm still looking for a copy of Persona 4. If I do find it I'll be sure to let you know though. I will, however, be bringing my PS2 to Michigan with me, so there's that. Speaking of which, are you sure your dad's okay with you going? I know he hasn't objected to it while we were talking about it around him, but I just want to be sure. I mean, this is the guy who sent his daughter off to Maine to be totally cut off from society for a month, but I'm still worried that the day to leave or start making plans will come and we'll suddenly find out that you can't go. Once again, I'm glad that we're friends. Thank you.
Awww, that's sweet. Seriously dude, I mean it. It sounds like you wrote it to someone who's been gone for a while... Reminds me of some of the letters I've wrote in the past. :) Not really much to say here... so yeah.
