Dear Mister Teddy,
Mummy told me to write a letter to someone for practice while we wait for Daddy and Pierre to come back. So I pick you to write to because you are sleeping right now. I can't sleep because of all the noisy people and car alarm. How can you sleep? Daddy reads me a story before bed so I can sleep but he hasn't come back yet. I learned to tell the time and he's been gone for six, no eight hours. I sat on the outside bit and watched the sun go down into the sea and the moon magically appear in the dark sky. I normally sit outside with Daddy and watch the stars sometimes because he said it's safe up here on the top floor. Mummy doesn't like it when I sit out there. I think it's in case I fall but I won't because there's metal bars that are taller than me. I use to be scared of it but I can't go out to the front garden and play with Anna any more even though I see her downstairs looking up and sort of waving with both hands to come and play but Mummy said that's not Anna any more. What does she mean?
You know Pierre don't you? He's our neighbour! He told me a story on Monday about people called Biters. He said that they bite non bited people who then turn into a Biter making them all friends. They don't eat each other but they would eat us because we not friends. Daddy told me then that I need to be brave when he goes out and be a good girl for mummy. I'm always a good girl Mister Teddy.
Is nine hours a long time Mister Teddy? I wish Daddy came back earlier, he promised to tell me another story. Mummy can't tell it the same. She keeps walking up and down and cries a lot. I'm going to go and draw a picture with my pencils now.
I miss Daddy... I hope he's here in the morning too.
See you in the morning Mister Teddy.
Lots of love and Sincerely,
Esmé
A/N: This one is a little shorter because lets face it, seven year olds don't exactly write much in a journal! I tried to keep it simple and realistic so I hope it suits.
