Letter #29 - someone you're afraid to tell the truth to - Virginia Gray
Dear Mom,
I’m sorry I left without much warning, but I was afraid. I’ve done some bad things, very bad, and if I get caught I’ll go to jail. I didn’t want to do them. It was like something else was using me like a puppet.
There was a man named Chandra Suresh. He came into the shop, and he told me I had the potential to be so much more than I was. I jumped at that chance, and I bent over backwards to make him happy. He acted like he believed in me, just like you do. He did tests to see how special I was, and when they didn’t work, he sent me away.
He hurt me, mom. I lost myself in the anger. I know you always said my temper would be the death of me, and you were almost right. Except it was the death of someone else. Actually a few someone else’s, the first one was an accident. I was lost in the want of something that I couldn’t have. Something that Chandra needed me to have, so I took it.
The others had more that I wanted, and I took that too, because Chandra was so pleased when I showed him how special I was now. But I shouldn’t have trusted him, mom. He was going to betray me. He had evidence of my crimes, and he was going to give it to the police.
If I went to jail, I couldn’t take care of you, so I killed him too. Snapped his neck in the cab he drove, and left him to rot there. That’s when I ran away.
I don’t know if I can come back. I don’t know who I am anymore. I’m lost, and I miss you.
Forgive me,
Gabriel

So far this summer
I've finished the 100 Drabbles of Summer.
I'll finish the Letter Blog tomorrow.
I could go back and finish the TV meme that I dropped the ball on, or look for something more writing oriented. I liked the Letter Blog a lot, even if some of the prompts were badly - and I mean BADLY - worded.
Anyone know of something to keep me pulling my hair out for a few more weeks?
