I’m hanging on a damn thread, writing this in my head but scribbling in my blood. I may be dead soon. India is trying so hard to help me. The other ‘Letters are confused she’s not trying to kill me first.

When I see you in my dreams . Top Story - March 2025.
When I saw him the second time, it was quiet, save for the regulars’ idle chat, in hushed whispers, excitement lacing their words, bouncing in jittery waves. Whether it was from their conversation or the anticipated performance, I didn’t know. The small stage in front was still and dark.

Soft thunder
Dear Jane, Did you ever see the evidence of winter start with soft thunder and the sun blooming through the gray, listless clouds? I find the snow eerie. The ice crystals that settle down inside the once lush landscape of green refresh me yet again, I feel a tormenting sensation of nostalgia for something that never existed.

Remember when you first kissed me?
Dearest Barbara, It's summer in the dreary 2004. Why aren't you here with me? I get the feeling you'd knock me out for wanting death so much. But I remember the most terrible things mixing up inside of me when I realized that you were actually gone. When you left that night, I had the chance to run after you but you were so affected by something that you demanded I stay behind.
