Chapter One

Letter in a Red Envelope


Dear Takakura,

I know it's been a while since I last wrote. City life has really gotten to me. There are so many things going on all at once it's hard to keep up. Cars honking at all hours, people shouting, the streets filled with people that have no interest in the other, and work can be so draining.

How is life at the farm? I bet it's really peaceful there. Heck, I bet you can actually hear yourself think. I've been wondering about the farm a lot lately. It's been a long time since I've been there. Around five years now? I feel bad that I haven't been around much since the funeral.

I was wondering have you been doing much with the farm? Still taking care of animals? I remember you and Dad had a few chickens and a cow there. Are you still taking care of them? Is it hard to take care of them? When I last visited it didn't seem awfully difficult. Although, my mother never let me have a puppy since she said it required "too much responsibility."

I've been thinking a lot about life in the city and the farm and what I want out of my life. I know that the city isn't what I'm looking for though. I think… I want to try working on the farm.

Sincerely,

Jillian
