Disclaimer: I do not own holes. Need I say any more?

A/N The first couple of chapters will seem like they've got nothing to do with Holes, but the third or fourth with start to introduce it. Kay?

Dear Daddy 29.7.1984

Daddy, why aren't you at home anymore? Mummy said that you just decided to go, but I don't think that's why you left.

Today was my first day of school. I'm in KE, and my teacher is Mrs Evans. She's pretty and nice and lets me get extra free time 'cause I answer special questions and today she gave me a sticker for my good work.

Mummy says she doesn't like Mrs Evans, but I don't know why. Mrs Evans is always smiling, not like mummy.

I told mummy that frowning so much would give her funny lines on her forehead, but she told me that she couldn't help worrying about everything now that you're gone.

Daddy she seems really sad now that you're gone. Why don't you come home then we could be a big happy family again. Maybe god would be nice and give a little brother, but not a little sister 'cause girls are yucky, no matter how much they're still a baby.

Also today mummy was late picking me up from school. I asked her why and she didn't answer, but later I heard mummy say to no-one "God, why'd they have to make such a big fuss about me being ten minutes late, I needed that sleep in."

Daddy what does that mean?

At school today I had fun except when Toby pushed me over at the swings. I fell over and hurted my knee really bad and then when I started crying 'cause it hurted so much he laughed and laughed and laughed at me.

Daddy why was Toby so mean to me? I thought you said that everyone would be nice to me at big kids school.

Can you come to school tomorrow and tell him off and laugh at him so that he feels the same way I did when he laughed at me?

I know it sounds mean, but he deserves it!

Anyway, mummy says that it's too late too be scribbling and that I should go to bed. She also said that I shouldn't write to you, but I still think I should, no matter where you are, you're still my daddy.

Night night, and I hope wherever you are the bed-bugs don't bight.

Love Frankie

A/N I know that this is short, but I only wanted this one letter in the first chapter. If you review, please try and tell how it can improve(apart from length, that is).

Ciao, MFB
