Our Condolences 13

Our Condolences
thirteenth letter


14th day of Serynir, 952

My Dear Sammy,

    I hope this finds you in good health, or at least better health then I am in. This war has been going on for so long that I can hardly remember anything else. I struggle to see anything besides the blood and dirt. Every time I close my eyes and recall the green of home, the lingering sounds of screams overpower my memories, turning it into a nightmarish scene. Minnie tries to keep our spirits up but she is looking less cheerful by the day, Opal has started to see the world for what it is, but Rosanne is barely functioning. The rumors are gaining traction and many of us have begun to lose hope. We see no end to this war and only wish to return to our families. I did not mean to make this letter so depressing but I would appreciate hearing of home.

    Forever Yours,

                 Angeline
