Note: This is the first of many letters. While I have a few written already, not only are they still in the works, but I decided to just post the one as a trial.
While I know not everyone will be receptive to some part of this story, I'd like to go in knowing that it will be appreciated.
Knowing this, I thank those who decide to give this and by extension, myself, a chance.

Major Gilbert,
I've been in the hospital based in Enchaine for two months now. The Doctor is allowing me to write today.
He states that my skin is healing well, though I shouldn't do much, in fear of aggravating it. But I must write this report, as you had ordered of me in the past.
I can still feel the pain. The heat of the blast against my skin. The taste of gunpowder still resides on my tongue.
I've told this to the nurses when they asked. They seem uncomfortable with my wounds. Their eyes refusing to meet my own, darting away from my gaze. I can see the moment when they see my wounds. Eyes widen, then they flinch, as if I had attacked them.
After that, they leave soon after; muttering about reports. But I know they don't want to be in the same room as me. I am a reminder of the war. Of all the pain and torment, of dark times they wish to forget. The nurses didn't want to tell me.
They hadn't meant to let it slip just yet. But I can hear their whispers as I lie awake at night; unable to sleep on the bed. Though they try to be quiet, with only my breathing to keep me company; it isn't hard for me to hear their words.
We won the war, Major. I know, deep down, I didn't need their confirmation. I can feel it. As if a weight has been lifted. However, it is nice to have the fact confirmed.
Your efforts weren't in vain.
Violet

Author's Note: Thank you guys for reading this. I'm sorry there isn't a lot. But they are meant to be short. While I want to make each Letter/Report have a base and a certain topic for each one. I know Violet's style (especially in the beginning) was concise and to the point, certainly not wordy like I've displayed here.

Anyway, let me know what you think and if you'd like to see some specific topic then feel free to bring it up. :)
