Her Goodbye [✔]

Tick Tock

On the eve of Christmas Day, Miss Summers, and her best friend Katie drove their rusted red truck into Hellburn Alley's Church, and doused it in gasoline, before setting light to the entire building. It was reported it had taken eleven minutes to have the entire building on fire; the facts were vague and skewed, no two paper reporting the same story. It kept the world talking.

The police wrote it off as pact suicide. Coincidentally, Miss Summers had written her will a few days earlier. Inside this will, written with ink, on crisp white paper was the ownership of eleven letters. She had said directly, that only those people could read those letters. They could not talk about what was taught to them - to anyone. Even those who had received the letters themselves.

"Before we begin - Katie and I, we'd like to apologise to everyone. This occasion had been planned for years, but we've never forgotten how lucky we were to have family, friends, and love in this world. There is only one to blame and even if we don't forgive them, you can be sure we will forget them - We promise.

As it is our right, as part of a will, we'd like to request that if you received your letter, you must read it once. Then you must read it twice more. Then you shall burn it, and never speak of what was written to you. Not even to the closest of people. We also request that you read them one day apart. Please, for us. We want you to move on and live in your own perfect world.

Stay silent, for us."

Reporters flocked to the home of her family, only to find a distraught family, with lips sealed, and eyes blinded with tears. Those reporters noted that even they felt something for the girl they hadn't seen the face of. Katie's parents, who'd also received a letter, that had joint signatures of both Miss Summers and Katie, were also in disdain, not giving out photographs.

The city they lived in was overshone by the devastation.

Two girls left a whole country with stained cheeks and parched mouths. Two girls had something to say, and they said it with their lives.
