16thbirthdayspecial Stories

9 days before her 16th birthday, a mysterious letter comes in the mail from an old childhood friend. Mariean is a sweet girl, that's what attracted him to her. He was like a stray cat, a constantly prickled back and mind that she seemed to smooth over with just one stroke of her hand across his cheek. Inseparable as children until he suddenly disappears, the boy slowly fades like an old picture, sifted into the back of her mind until she receives his letter.
