introduction

ethan's pov

I took a seat on my table, looking at envelope I had in hand. I quickly opened it revealing a nicely decorated piece of paper. I raised my eyebrows in confusion as I began reading the letter.

Dear person reading this,

I see you've found my note or more so, my suicide note. Unfortunately, you probably dont know me and Im guessing I probably didnt know you? Before I get into why I did what I did, I just want to say I hope you've had a good day. You deserve to know your self-worth. I, unfortunately, did not know my worth. No one really told me so this is why Im telling you, so you do not do what I do. Dont kill yourself, keep fighting, dont give up because I can guarantee someone cares. So, you're probably wondering, why did I do it? And why am I giving you advice when I cant take it myself? Well, I guess I dont really have an answer. But, what I do know is showing affection and love towards someone can/ will dramatically affect their mood. Someone you dont even know may be suffering with suicidal thoughts and even a slight you're beautiful will cause them to become positive for possibly, longer than that day. Now, youre also probably wondering why you have this letter. There isnt any reason why, I randomly chose a postal code and well, here the letter is. Another thing, there is more than one suicide letter. I know, its a lot to take in but yes, theres more than one. I have arranged for all 10 letters to be sent to your house on a different day for about 2 weeks. So, since you got this one, another one will come tomorrow afternoon at around 2? I think. This isnt my suicide letter, I decided to make an introduction rather than just throw this all at you, although I guess I still am. You're probably really overwhelmed by all this and so I guess the big question is what do you do after youve read them all? Well my friend, really you dont need to do anything. There are no particular rules on what to do afterwards, you may not care and thats okay. But, if you do, passing it on to someone else may be a good idea, Why? You might ask, the reason Im doing all this is because the letters you are soon about to receive are dedicated to different people, perhaps maybe even people you know. These people were not kind to me, I guess you could say they dont deserve to be let off freely. My death is because of all these 10 people, I can assure you once you read these letters you wouldnt want them to walk freely either. Okay, thats it for now, see you tomorrow?

I sat back in the chair with my eyes popped out of my head. Was this for real? Am I seriously receiving letters from a girl who killed herself?
