Chapter 3

Dear Ryan,

Well Ryan, I live in a small rural area in Montana.The closest town is Fairview.Where I live it's just me and the wild animals. LOL.

I moved here a few years after mom passed away. I couldn't handle living in big cities anymore. Or pretty much anywhere where car could end your life in a second.I don't mind driving but I prefer small towns now. I know that might sound silly when you are where you are, but I can't get rid of the feeling that mom would still be here if we didn't live in such a big city.(It was New York at the time.)

I actually don't work. The settlement from the lawsuit when mom was killed gives me enough money to live off of. Plus I'm really good at living here. I hunt for my own food and I can trade with the nearby village  to get anything I need. Last time I seen another human being was more than a month ago.I guess that'll be changing if I want to get more letters from you.

My favorite color happens to be purple. Do you have a favorite color? Where are you from? If you weren't in the army what would you do for work?

And I have a few personal questions for you too. Do you have a girlfriend? If you've been in the army for nine years you must have no family or friends outside of it? What do you plan on doing in the future? Are you going to be in the army for the rest your life?

Just before you ask I can answer those questions too. I don't have a boyfriend, like I said there's not many people around here. I have no plans of doing anything else for the rest my life just stay here and maybe turn into a hermit! LOL.

Although to be honest, I would like to find someone that would be willing to come and live with me. Do they still do mail order husbands? LOL. Do you think somebody could be convinced to come up here and live with me?

Sigh.

Well, I think that might be enough of this letter for tonight. I hope you stay safe wherever you are and whatever you're doing. These letter seem to take 2 weeks to send to each other. So, I guess I'll be going to town to see if you sent me anything.

You can write me anything too! I'm looking for a friend if nothing else out of these letters..plus who would I tell? The bears and wolves? Lol
