Today’s prompt is to write a story through letters (or the equivalent). My day started out with big dreams of making this story a visual one, as it is getting late in the day, I’ve decided to keep it simple. So, dear reader, please imagine these as chats on your favorite chat program.

Hey, you there? How was Morocco?!
[[June 6, 2006]]
I know sometimes you go invisible, so just in case you are there, I wanted to say hi. I hope everything is okay and your trip was fabulous. I can’t WAIT to hear about it!
I miss you. Thailand is beautiful, but it’s a little worse for you not being here.

Finally done with my day. You there?
[[June 9, 2006]]
Hey, I’m starting to worry.
Can you just let me know that you’re okay?
(And by starting, I mean, I’m worrying. 😉 )

Jax said she saw you the other day.
What is going on?
Can you just talk to me?
[[June 25, 2006]]
Look, you promised you would talk to me when…
Just talk to me. Please.
Please talk to me.
I am halfway across the world. I can’t just get on a plane and go face you right now.
This is why I made you promise. You have to talk to me.

I don’t understand. I just – Why are you doing this?
You just have to have one conversation with me.
Yeah, it sucks that it’s through chat, but

Back in the States.
If you ever wanna woman up and have an adult conversation about our (non)relationship,
let me know.
Oh! I really enjoyed this one! I had shivers. I’ve had similar things done to me (pre-texting). Sad to say, I’ve also done them….
I love the misspellings and spacings. They are so well-executed, and set the tone perfectly. I can see those fingers tripping all over the emotions!
