Consider me tardy to the party but!
Dear Miya,
Like a great band once said, "It's not too late. It's never too late."
âHey Miya. Itâs that timeâa year again, where I have an excuse tâsend ya sumthinâ nice anâ have ya âon mâmind. I wanted tâapologize, fer beinâ so short witâ ya lately. I dunno. Mebbe yaâve noticed, mebbe yaâ havenât, but I have been all too awareâa it. Itâs not jusâ you, sâhappeninâ everywhere but that ainât much excuse. I worry that yaâ might think yaâ done sumthinâ wrong or pissed me off, anâ that ainât thâcase either. Lifeâs been hard, but that still ainât an excuse.Â
Truth is, yer oneâa thâmost steadfast people I know. I think it almost insane that we became friends offâa you kidnappinâ me. Yeah I know thereâs a word fer that, anâ sum folk might reference me havinâ sum kinda syndrome or other but we both know that werenât thâcase. Truth is, when yaâ took me away, I knew there was more to ya.
Yâwerenât this scary woman hidinâ in thâshadows anâ takinâ people away. Thâbombs yaâ set around never hurt nobody, anâ shore they could have. But I always figured yaâ a woman reluctant tâdo what she was doinâ. Sum kinda self-destruction yâwere tryinâ tâmake so you could escape all thâterrible things goinâ on witâ ya. I wonât pretend tâknow what yer goinâ thruâ, I donât. I donât think I ever will. I know them voices cause yaâ a good amountâa distress, anâ I know there ainât much tâdo âbout it, but I hope to help yaâ find sumthinâ one day.Â
Yer not yer worst decisions thoâ, anâ youâve proved that every day since then. Yaâve taken careâa me when I been blown up in thâstreets. Checked in on me when no one else has. Yâcome tâsee me when ever yer feelinâ social anâ I always have appreciated that. I know if I ever need anything, youâll be right there if I ask, anâ likely even if I donât, anâ thatâs a nice thing tâknow. Yer a better person than yaâ want tâsay, anâ I enjoy gettinâ tâknow ya.Â
I made ya a blanket. Sâfer thâcolder nights. Sâgot a symbol on it mâpeople use fer protection anâ I thought it might be nice fer ya. Anyroad, happy holidays. I care about yaâ muchly. I hope tâsee yaâ soon, anâ mebbe talk âbout this deal yaâ got goinâ. Over a cupâa peppermint hot chocolate. Iâll treat yaâ if yaâve never had it.âÂ
The transmission ends there, the little magitek deviceâs blinking lights ending. It had come in a box with a colorful blanket of browns, oranges, baby blues, and yellows fixed in various patterns. At the center, several arrow like shapes were stitched into the fabric, going across a brown strip within the blanket.Â
