#LettersFromaFuture #82

Dear Dr. McGuire,

I have tried to be an ethical eater all of my life. I have only consumed ethically-grown, low-water utilization, organic, local vegan crops for the last three decades of my life. I had no idea just how sentient these plants were. When you get your plant-to-human language translator working, please send them our most sincere apologies. You know, before they decide to get their revenge.

PO Box 159 at the Brooksdale Post Office is a bit unusual. Every week, it receives letters from many different people from many different times in the future. Many times, the letters are well-wishes and advice from the loved ones of people of our time. Other times, there are dire warnings.

No one seems to know how or why these letters started coming to PO Box 159. They simply appear. The future these letters describe seems to be in constant flux; one day the year 2098 sounds like a dystopian hellscape, the next day a letter will appear describing a garden of Eden.

Dear Eliza,

Don’t worry about feeling unseen. The Almighty Algorithm sees all and sees you.

Dear Kirk,

No need to worry about the message from Friday Kirk! It was Tuesday after all. Your apologies were premature. As was the future. Or was it? Who can really say? Maybe it’s best to just be contrite just in case.

Dear Kirk,

You thought it was Tuesday. You could have sworn it was Tuesday. You were wrong. And you will pay. Beg for forgiveness.

Dear Diane,

If you really want to run the International Rocket Ship Conference, you should. Just know, I am going to hack the event and it’s going to be a disaster. I’m not sorry I did it, but sorry you got caught up in it. You seem nice.

Dear Mr. Senator,

I know you’re blackmailing the Illuminati. Couldn’t you use that power to benefit someone other than yourself though?

Please,

Thank You! – Re: The Writers Next Door

My overwhelming thanks to everyone who has supported The Writers Next Door of Wilmington by coming to our book launch last Monday, purchasing our book, visiting us at the Wilmington Farmer’s Market today, or supporting us in so many other ways big and small. I am so grateful for the wonderful community of creatives and literature-lovers in Wilmington and Massachusetts, and your ongoing support for our special little book.

 

If you’re reading this and are thinking “Oh no, have I missed my chance to read the best book of the summer?” — don’t worry! It’ll be at Wilmington’s Book Store Next Door, and can also be found on Amazon in eBook and softcover formats here. You can also buy a copy (and get some of the authors’ signatures!) at the Wilmington Farmer’s Market on September 23rd. As always, all proceeds will go to the Friends of the Wilmington Memorial Library.

Thank you all so very much again!
