Dear Mom,

home

dear mom,

guess what i did after i read the article? 

i cried myself to sleep 

and now i feel sick

and my arms won't stop bleeding. 

mommy, i think i caught the flu. 

so i'm going to stay home and skip school for just a bit. 

don't get mad at me, okay. 

oh wait, you can't though because you're dead

and it's all my fault.

love,

ann
