"Gate 24 now unloading." I waited patiently for a space to push through and get off of the plane I was currently on.
I only really realized that I was alone in this when I read the note that was folded in the wooden puzzle box.
It took me a second to figure out how I was supposed to open it, before some elderly lady and her grandson sat down and asked me if I was having trouble opening the box. She showed me the first step before I rudely yanked it from her hands and finished the rest in mere minutes, fumbiling every now and then.
I was now walking towards the exit staring at a map leading to a dot on the paper marked Winchester. There were many papers like this one that had been ripped from a notebook it seemed.
On them mom explained her research for finding this facility and her tears on one page, the one she had most likely been writing on when she was buying my ticket for Heathrow airport.
Dear miyu,
Please understand that in order to live in a place where your morals will be pampered and the easiest way for you to win-this was scratched out. Avenge both me and your beloved father -teardrops- this is the best course of action. I had been watching your father's actions for years. A man has cornered your father so that someone else decided to kill him. I hope I can trust you to help right thi world. The notebook I have reburied at a place only you know know of. When you have the will, and the schooling, leave and search for it. Never forget your years with me. This money should pay for a taxi to Winchester. If they won't take you dress up in the close in your bag and hitch hike there. Search through my papers and memorize where the institution is. Then hid this box under a tree near there and pretend as though you have just been thrown away from your parents and your new name is Mary Clark. Ask for a place to stay –tears- and pass the tests, whatever it takes. I love you, miyu, do your parents souls good so we can rest when we go to nothingness.
By now I was dressed in the clothes my mother had packed as per her instruction. I raised my thumb while on my tippy toes in the rain.
A beat up van with surf boards strapped to the top pulled up and the window slid down to see to females in their twenties.
"you need a ride kid?"
I put on my best worried face and looked her in the eyes.
"my aunt is sick so my mother sent me to stay with her for the summer. Are you by any chance going near Winchester?"
to say the least, I was dropped off at Winchester by nightfall and had been treated to both lunch and dinner.
