Dear Whoever cares to listen,
Not sure how to start this… The war completely wiped me out and stupid Poland took all of my land. I know I'm dead…or will be soon. I don't want to be forgotten. I don't want people to never know I existed… I want to be remembered. My brother says that I will be remembered, that I was too "awesome" to be forgotten. To be honest, I'm not feeling that "awesome" right now.
I had it all: fame, power, wealth, and a great empire. I didn't really appreciate it that much then. I guess you don't know how good you have it 'till it's gone. Doubt has sneaked into my mind, making me slowly lose it. I want to go home… I want to reclaim my crown, get rid of these monsters inside of my head, and make sure I'm remembered.
I've done horrible things, I know, but I've also done a lot of good things. People will never know how awesome it was to sit in a Prussian village square and just to listen to the hustle and bustle. The song that the mountains made just before the sun set on a winter night. People will never experience listening to Prussian men marching to the battlefield and already singing of their victory. My home is… gone… and I'll NEVER get to go back.
I'm dying and no one's going to remember me… No one's ever going to wonder what happened to me, because no one will care. I bet I'll be completely wiped from history… like I never existed. Truth is I'm not awesome. If I was then people would remember me.
Some things go out with a bang. For example: the Babylonians, The Roman Empire, and The Holy Roman Empire. They were remembered. I didn't go out with a bang… It was more like I dissolved.
Everyone's hurting right now… but I'm the only one dying. People are selfish and mostly worry about themselves. By now my people have probably have claimed a new country as their own. The other countries, even my brother are too busy to check on me, so here I am. I'm dissolving and no one cares. I'm all alone… alone… This letter is my farewell to the world. It's all that's left of me.
I hope at least one person cares enough to read this,
The "AWESOME" Prussia.
