Hey? I guess I should send you letters more, but since you moved away Ive been busy. Im sorry. Hey can you call me some time soon. Im counting on you. After all, we are best friends. Until you reply
-James.
To James I got your letter...Well DUH! But my phone isnt working. Theres no signal up here in the mountains, but I want my best friend to know that hes welcome to come over whenever he wants. I cant believe how cold it is here. I hope you dont have the same problem. Visit me in my house which is midway to completely and entirely buried in snow. Later ~Sam
To Samuel. I just got home from your place and I now find the weather down here almost unbearable. I feel like the earth surface is that of an oven. Happy Birthday and all.
-James
To James. Ive gotten a whole heap of books for my birthday. I got your parcel and your letter and I thank you dearly. Ive run out of words for now... ~Samuel
To Samuel The wolves dragged me to the forest. Im in hospital and I will probably still be there when you get this letter. I barely got out of that forest alive!
-James
Postscript: I think Im going mad as well.
(Eight years later)
To Samuel, We are sorry to inform you that James, has passed away. Through his death you have inherited all of his belongings including his house, money, cat, dog, and his three cars. Sincerely The Agency
To The Agency, I write to lay claims on James's items. I have decided that I shall move there immediately. ~Samuel,
To Samuel, Your requests have been looked upon and you may move in from the day you receive this letter onward. Sincerely The Agency
(After the funeral and the other ceremonies to commemorate the death of James it was only weeks before Samuel forgot of the previous existence of James).
