Hello, I stumbled upon the game Ib lately, saw a picture, and got inspired. I do not own anything from the game, or the game itself. Enjoy!
Garry,
It's been 10 years. 10 years since I met you in the Gallery. 10 years since you abandoned me. I gave you my handkerchief and you said you'd clean it up and bring it back to me. You said we'd meet again. I got in a lot of trouble when my mother found out I didn't have my handkerchief anymore. That thing was pure silk, not exactly cheap. More importantly, did our time together, everything we went through, the bond we forged, did all of that mean nothing to you? Do you even remember my name? It's been 10 years. I'm 19 now. And I'm still waiting for you.
Dear Ib,
It's been 10 years to the day since I met you. I've been counting. 10 years since you abandoned me. I'm still here, Ib, in the Gallery. The one who left with you wasn't me, it was a painting called "The Forgotten Portrait." He was a painting of me that came to life and replaced me. I know this because the artwork told me. They also told me that attempting to escape now would result in my demise. In my spare time I've learned to paint. I got to the point that I could repaint Mary. She brings me food and water, so I live alongside the art well enough. I don't want anyone to suffer the way we did, so I've also become a guide for people of the outside world that get trapped here. However, I can't help but think of you. Are you all right? Did your life turn out ok even with the trauma this place must have caused you? You must be a grown woman by now, my how time has flown by. I apologize, I'm rambling, and I know this letter can't possibly reach you, but I just wanted you to know. I am still here, and I haven't forgotten you.
I have an idea for a sort of loosely attatched story to these letters, which were written in diaries I guess. Anyways let me know if you want me to try to expand this idea. Warning: if I do continue it'll probably get real dark real fast.
I know this was short but please review let me know if you liked it, what I can improve on, if I even got the characters right (since I've never written for this fandom) etc.
