Dear whomever this may concern,

I woke up today and my eyes hurt from all the crying I did.

Then I realized why I had woken up: there was someone knocking on the door.

I opened it and the mailman was at the door.

I didn't like the way his eyes widened and filled with pity.

I didn't like the way he said the same thing everyone else did: 'I'm sorry for your loss'.

I didn't like the way he tried and failed to console me.

I didn't like it.

So I grabbed my mail and slammed the door in his face.

Then I started crying again after I realized that the mail was addressed to my mom.

I didn't think it would hurt this much.

Your acquaintance,

Kaya
