Cairo's Story
(Spectacular story starring the cu-u-u-test little kitten herself: Cairo Denarii!)
Chapter 1: Cairo's Parent's Letter
Dear Charlene and Wyatt,
Hello! We haven't heard from you two since Christmas, and it's nearly March! Charlene, have you forgotten about me, your dear sister? Or, for that matter, your dear sister's husband, your brother in law?
Now, lil' sis', I love you, and your fiancée, but I feel the love isn't mutual. Is it because of what I said when you were over for Christmas supper? Now, Charlene, you know I didn't mean to offend you, neither did Tim, but if we did, one thousand sincerest apologies!
But, just because I'm apologizing does not mean that I'm resting my case. I just don't feel it… right for our little niece to grow up in an environment such as your household.
And I mean NO OFFENSE with that statement. I just consider it to be truth.
Now, Charly, mother raised you and I to be good Christians, especially since we were the only two children in the whole family, and daughters at that!!! I follow mother and father's Christian views on procreation, child-birthing, marriage, and the like. I thought you did, too. But apparently not, I was wrong.
I am sorry to say this, Charlene and Wyatt, but I must. (Trust me, I love little Cai with ALL MY HEART!) Your daughter, Cairo, is a bastard. If two parents are not joined by marriage, their offspring is not fit to live in the presence of God.
Charly, Wy, if you guys want me and Mark's guidance to fix this problem, re-deem yourselves, and repent for Cairo's wretched birth, PLEASE CONTACT US!
Love and 1,000 kisses!
-Catherine and Markus
(p.s. God Bless! Kiss Cairo "hello" for me! She's about 3 now, isn't she?)

Dear Cathy and Marky,
Thank you for the letter. It was very pleasant to hear from you. But I'm afraid that you made a few minor mistakes. First of all, Wyatt is not my fiancée. He is my boyfriend and my daughter's father. Secondly, we do not plan on getting married any time soon. Third, my daughter, Cairo, is NOT a bastard.
Yours,
Charlene and Wyatt.
(p.s. Yes, Cairo's 3rd birthday was on
the 6th. She is talking now and is
showing some rather strange signs
of some sort of odd ability…)
(May 8th, 1999)
Dear Charly and Wy,
Oh, my little Cairo is already three-years-old? Time flies! Why did it take you two so long to respond to me and Mark's letter? You two aren't offended are you? I've already told you, we mean no harm! I thought I had made that clear?
We just want to help! We can make you clean in the eyes of God! Don't you want that? Just trust us! Trust me! Your big sister! Please, I only want the best for you! We only want the best for you!
Lots of Love,
Cathy and Marky
(p.s. What sort of "odd ability"
Do you speak of? Is my niece ok?)
(May 20, 1999)
Dear Catherine and Markus,
For the last time, my family does not need help. Wyatt and I are perfectly happy together, the way we are. And Cairo is NOT a BASTARD! Your niece is fine. We did some research, and it turns out, Cairo is a tiny little photokinetic! How wonderful, right? We've been practicing it so she can perfect it for future use. (Photokinesis is the art of projecting your own thoughts, feelings, and emotions through pictures, video, or camera; as well as the thoughts and feelings of others!)
Cairo has a true gift. I guess she is accepted of God after all, huh?
Sincerely,
Charlene, Wyatt and Cairo

Charlene, Wyatt, and Cairo
Blasphemous! Cairo's abilities are not a gift from God but an evil tool from Satan! She as well as yourselves are being punished for your evil ways! You should've wed before Cairo was even out of your womb!
My, I am so angry I can barely write this letter! Little sister, I always knew you were a rotten one, but never did I think you were a devil's wench, Wyatt your slave-toy, and Cairo your little demonic offspring!!!
We offered to help, now we fear it may be too late.
From,
Catherine Leigel and
Markus Leigel

Mr. and Mrs. Leigel,
For the VERY LAST TIME, my family never needed your help! At least, not that kind. You are the only remaining family Wyatt, Cairo and I have left. And vice versa. We need to love each other and stick together, because we're all each other has left! I'm willing to forgive you if you'll forgive me, first.
You're my big sister, Cath, and I love you. You spent six years in this world before me. I trust you. Don't you trust me? At least trust me on the one thing I have more expierince on than you… being a mother.
Tons of LOVE,
Charlene Duprie & Wyatt Denarii

Dear Charls and Wy-Wy,
OF COURSE I FORGIVE YOU! I'm sorry Charlene, and I'm sorry Wyatt. Your little family is our little family, through and through; and we totally accept that. We're sorry, if you will just accept our apology.
Though Mark and I aren't exactly happy with your choices, we've learned to deal because they are exactly that… YOUR CHOICES!
By the way, CONGRATULATIONS on Cairo's newfound powers. We can't wait to see them and have her demonstrate. Perhaps they are indeed a gift from God? We're so excited.
I have great news, and I just can't put it off any longer: I may be pregnant! Finally, after all these years of infertility tests, me and Markus may be having a little baby of our own! I'm catching up with you, lil' sis'!
Hundreds of Hugs!
Cathy, Markus, and maybe a baby!

Dear Caths and Marks,
Girl, you may be pregnant? Good thing you're married, right? Is it a boy or a girl? How far are you along?
I have great news for you too, and I just can't put it off any longer: Me and Wyatt are getting married!!! We're enclosing plane tickets. You should leave the day you get them, as the wedding is in 2 weeks. Then, after the ceremony, we'll fly back out to your house with you two to celebrate Cairo's fifth birthday, and we'll stay there for 3 days. After that, we'll leave Cairo with you so Wyatt and I can go on our2-week vacation to Panama! Sound good? I hope so, because everything is already paid for and non-refundable.
See you soon,
Charlene and Wyatt
