Frozen: Worth a Thousand Words

Worth a Thousand Words

Disclaimer: Characters are based on Disney's "Frozen". The plot is mine.

Part 1

"Do you know the saying: "A picture is worth a thousand words"?

But what if these words were burnt into your heart, branded into your mind? Such words are different. No picture can ever replace them, neither one, nor ten or even a thousand.

It's all about the purpose of the words, the love hidden between the lines, not about how sharp a picture is or which location is presented.

What does a picture by a good photographer tell about a person? Certainly not much. But the words by a gifted writer speak of...

... everything. Good days, bad ones, all the sorrow one has felt, hope and despair. All of this can be caught inside this net of words. A writer is like a fisher knitting his own web. But instead of looking for fish, emotions are caught, in all their beauty and all their wrongness.

Our story has begun with such words..."

Anna,

You probably wonder who I am and how I know your name. The first question I cannot answer yet, but for the latter one, well, I have scanned the school network for your face and found a name beneath it. Your name, hopefully.

I want to asks you a favor. Only something small. Could you leave a piece of paper at your desk? You don't have to write anything, just give me a sign that I found the correct name. Can I say 'thank you' beforehand or do I ask too much. I know that this is quite personal. But asking never hurts, I think.

I would be happy if I found your paper, but I would fully understand if you just threw this letter away.

"... The first letter was quite unexpected and, like I must admit, I didn't fully understand its meaning back then. It was not the first love letter I had received and certainly not the best one either. Something made me curious though. Maybe it was the mysterious feeling since, back then, I didn't know who had written the letter.

Now however, thinking back, I feel different about that. It was probably not about the unknown author, but about the simplicity of the words. Neither a tale to praise my beauty, nor a poem to disguise the same tale.

I believe it had been the uncommon way of telling to be interested in me while simultaneously asking for my confirmation, that convinced me..."

Anna,

Did I already tell you, what a wonderful person you are? Giving me, a total stranger, a chance. Most would have burned the letter - no, on second thought, they would probably be too lazy to show some respect to my letter by ending its being in an inferno of fire and ashes...

I've heard you like mysteries. And games. So I planned a game for you to solve a mystery. My mystery.

Be patient and let me surprise you.

"... I have found quite a liking to receiving the letters, although hadn't paid them too much respect. 'Some guy' I thought, 'trying to flirt with me through letters.' Oh my, how far from the truth I was..."

Anna,

all is ready now, for your game. It's our game actually since you can't play alone.
