Letters To Thorne

Chapter 2: Hello to you

Dear Maria,

    Trust me dear, I know all about you. I know all of your hopes and dreams, aspirations, and fears, but if you like to know about me here it is.

    My name is Thorne, I was born in the year you started middle school. Remember the time you fell asleep in Science class and woke up to farting loudly and the entire class stared and giggled at you? I do, that was so embarrassing. I also remember when you did that during midterms the next year at the new school too.

    I grew up right next to you, whether you saw me or not. I was beside you when you started crying in the bathroom because people were making fun of the way you spoke because of your lisp. You didn’t see me but I was standing right there with you. Funny how being invisible can lead to such impact on a person’s life. I kept feeding the image back into your head until you stayed in that stall for 30 minutes. Heh, truly funny times right?

                            -Thorne
