What's Inside Me?

The Only Chapter

     "Oh, look! The mail man is coming! Quick, hide!" I say, playfully. 

     I wait patiently in my  spot until he finally finds me.

     "Awww, you found me!" The mailman doesn't say anything.

     I come with him to the mailing station, or, whatever you call it, and, before he dropped me off, I asked, "Do you know what's inside me?"

     He doesn't answer. Guess he doesn't know either.

     When I arrived, I quickly rode aboard the van. From what I heard, we're on our way to  a place called -uh- Dastynayshn? I don't know where that is. The van leaves and I  can already tell that this place is far away. We had to sit on boxes, which made it a longer wait.

     The van slows down. 

     "Are we here, yet?" I ask the driver.

     ...

     Guess he doesn't know. Maybe we got lost and  he's trying to find the way back or something. I would've also gotten lost if I was in his shoes, I mean, where is this Destaynishn anyways?

     The driver gets off the van. 'We're here!'

     He opens  the back doors and picks me up. He took a second to do so, and in that second, I asked him, "Hey, mister. Do you know what's inside me?" He doesn't  answer, too.

     Outside the van, I see a family waiting in front of their HUGE house. Man. I wish I lived there.

     To my surprise, he hands me over to the family. Am I really gonna live here from now on?

     The family jumps with excitement when they received me and I asked them, "Do YOU guys  know what's inside me?" They don't  answer, but one of them says, "Let's see what's inside!"

     Finally, I would get to know what's inside me.

     The girl then opens me up. I couldn't help but feel excited to get my wish. To know what's inside me. Then she reads, 

     "Dear Family,  it's been so long ever since I've seen your faces. I even forgot it once. Good thing I have a picture of all of us. Anyways, I wanted to make this letter, because, I'm not sure if i can make it back when the war is done. I was assigned to the front lines of war and we all know what that means. But if I do make it back alive, I would hug you all soooooo tight, I think I would crush you all. All I really just want to say is, I love you all so much. Ever since the world began, you guys already loved me more than anyone in this world could and I thank you for all of it. The love, the fights, the tears, the... everything! So, thank you and I love you!"

     That wasn't the only thing in me. With it came another letter saying that he was missing in action. 

    Everyone cries. I didn't want them to cry. I didn't want this to happen. I didn't want them to be sad.

     "Good-bye!" They all say while others follow with a "We'll miss you!" and a "See you soon!"

     After that, they laugh and remember the times that he was alive. Reliving the days that he was with them, because, they couldn't do anything about, and, so, they accepted it. 

     I couldn't understand what they were doing, but, as far as I know. They were happy crying. Is that a word? I don't know.
