Words From Strangers

by PuppyRhodes

Thor Odinson and Loki Laufeyson. Both 17 years old, studying for their A-Levels. Their schools have joined up in a pen pal project, so that the students have someone to talk to who doesn't know them, who has a fresh perspective, who can talk them through any problems they might be having.

Good day,

I should introduce myself. My name is Thor Odinson and I am your pen pal from Asgard Academy. Or, rather, e-mail pal. I haven't had a pen pal since an American boy a few years ago, but he apparently moved over here and I haven't heard from him since. He was the son of a famed industrialist.

I am not sure who you are the son of. They said our pen pals were there so we could speak about our problems, but I am not sure I would be comfortable allowing you to bear the burden of my problems. Besides, you may have much bigger problems than I. Nevertheless, you can speak about your problems to me, and I will listen. I guess it's like a counselling session, except the school does not have to pay for it. As if we don't already have lots of work to do.

Or, if you would just like to talk, that works for me. We could chat about animals. Or favourite colours. Mine is red.

In case you need a talking point, I will tell you the A-Levels I am studying this year:

Sport, Business, English Language and History, although Business is definitely not one I would have picked, but I am studying it.

Whether you would like to talk about what is worrying you or not, I am always on this end of the internet.

Waiting to hear from you,

Thor
