I AM REALLYTIRED. :P Ok. This is a dupe. I knew it from the start but I thought, God damn it, it’s 1 in the morning and you’ve just worked eleven hours straight but Inky, you will write. AH WELL! This is what Creative Writing degrees are for. Aha!
I love it!! The third paragraph, “Even now I, as I remember…” might want to tweek it. I think you may have meant, “Even now as I remember…” But I love it! I think she killed him and is contemplating joining him soon. I guess that is one way to make sure they never leave. ;)
The wee morning hours are my favorite time to write. The brain is tired enough to stay out of the way. This is a very honest and thought-provoking letter, which illustrates how mixed up our emotions really are on the inside.
So, she killed him and expects to die. Definitely a dark little missive to a friend who is gone. Nicely done overall and congrats on pursuing that degree!
