All you (the reader) can see is darkness that is until lights, shapes, and figures start to become visible and clearer. When your finally able to see you see Lincoln wearing a nostalgic look on his face as he looked at somewhat dirty letters all written in red ink. Lincoln put the letters in a brown box and hooked the latch before gently pushing the box under his bed. The orange cladded boy then sat on his bed and looked towards the reader.
"Hi guys, sorry, I didn't expect you guys to show up so early. Your all probably wondering what's going on and why I have so many letters, well I'm glad you guys are curious cuz I got a story to tell. You might want to get some popcorn and put your theorist caps on now cuz your in for a long story." Lincoln said, before he took a glass of water that was on his dresser and took a sip of it placing it on the floor.
"Are you all ready?" Lincoln asked and he waits a moment to hear your response,
"Good, now here's the story on how I kept getting letters from Ruby." Lincoln said before the world faded to inky blacks again.
*6 Months Ago*
It had all started when I was reading the newest Ace Savvy comic. As usual my day had been pretty crazy with my ten sisters and I had decided to read in the living room as all my sisters did their own things up in their rooms for once. I remember both mom and dad had come in from work and shopping respectively. Now most boys would be embarrassed if their parents or other siblings (especially the girls) saw them in their underwear but I wasn't fazed by this if anything when anyone said something it was a minor annoyance. My dad had walked into the kitchen to put the groceries away while my mom tapped the top of my head to get my attention.
"Sorry honey, but you got some mail." My mom said as she handed me a slightly dirty white envelope, I took the envelope and my mom walked to her and dad's room. I looked at the envelope curiosity and confusion clouding my head, I had never gotten mail before but I shrugged it off first time for everything I guess. So I had originally decided to read the letter later and finish reading my comic book but eventually my curiosity got the better of me and I couldn't even focus on my comic book anymore. I sighed and closed my comic book before picking the envelope up, I looked at it and besides my address I didn't see anything else on the envelope. I opened the envelope and pulled out a letter, the letter was white with black and brown smudges all over it.
I opened the letter and immediately noticed two things, one, whoever write the letter wrote in red ink for some reason. And, two, the person who wrote the letter had neat small cursive handwriting. I couldn't help but wonder what the smudges we're but I decided it wasn't important and read the letter.
'Ello Lincoln! Ruby hope you is getting this letter, Ruby was lonely and Ruby thought it would be a vonderful idea if Ruby writes you! You wouldn't know Ruby, but Ruby knows you from strange blip-beep box big black man was using! Big black man won't be pleased if he knows Ruby writing and knows to read but Ruby saw big fam-fam online and Ruby thought Ruby would writes you! Ruby hads to say your fam-fam is cute and exciting, are all American fam-fams so big?
Hugs and lots of lovey-love,
Ruby
I blinked as I finished reading the letter, and at this moment I had yet to realize that Ruby had changed my life forever. But at the time I was too confused to think about anything else other then: who in the world is this Ruby girl? But I didn't have time to think about it as I heard my dad call for dinner, I quickly ran up the stairs before my sisters could get to them and ran into my room. I quickly put my pants and shirt on before I placed the letter on my dresser. I ran out my room and closed the door and because of the vibration of my room door slamming shut Ruby's letter fell to the back of my dresser.
And for the time being Ruby's letter was forgotten, destined to collect dust.
