Letter
Splash,
I guess that’s a secret name or whatever.
I’m not really sure what the right thing for an intro is at this point, so hey, I’m Jackson.
Honestly, your first letter hit me with an intensity I wasn’t expecting; it felt like a lifeline thrown out of the dark, and I found myself holding onto every word.
The idea that someone so far away is carrying that kind of silence (while my life is usually all noise and bright lights and performing) is a strange, compelling contrast. I’d give anything for a bit of that quiet isolation right now.
I hope the feeling of throwing a line out into the dark pays off for both of us.
I get that it can be loud and messy for you at times, but I’m here to hopefully be a constant in your life right now.
I’m hoping that I’ll be a breath of fresh air, like know your letters will be for me.
I’ll answer your question, but I have to admit, hearing the waves crash right now is definitely a better sound than your best friend snoring!
You can’t possibly tell me he’s louder than the generator?
As for the smell of those double chocolate cookies…
You absolutely deserve to steal them. A soldier on a mission needs his treats, especially one who has to put up with that kind of racket.
I can’t smell cookies, though; I can only smell the bacon I’ve just burnt.
Did I mention I’m not a very good cook? I’d share my burnt bacon with you, hell, I’d send it to you if I knew it was edible, but that’s highly questionable right now.
What can I see? A giant, king-size bed just calling my name. I’ve just got back from a very long day, and my body is about to give up on me.
Closing your eyes in your line of work might not be advisable!
But I thought you could see the stars from anywhere in the world.
Maybe swap spots with someone; they might have a better view.
I’m so tired, physically and mentally. In a world of technology, I love that I’ve got a pen and paper right now.
I have no choice but to wait for your reply.
I can’t delete the chat or fixate over the fact that you’ve read my message but haven’t replied, yeah, sorry, some of my past bullshit coming out there!
Jackson
