Chapter Two: Correspondence
Kathy went
to her mailbox as she did every day, she reached inside always hoping to find
some correspondence from her parents, or a teacher that she had been fond of.
She
occasionally received mail from a teacher, or a colleague, or one of the few
people she had found a form of friendship with.
It always
delighted her when she did.
She never
received anything from her parents, not one word at all since they had left
her.
Nevertheless,
personal mail was rare.
When her
fingers touched the envelope inside she became very excited.
Kathy ignored the fact that the letter in her box was neither
stamped nor metered.
Its arrival was completely unexpected.
She was delighted.
There was a mystery in front of her, she did not have a
clue what it might lead to.
She peeled the envelope open, took out its contents and read
it, by doing so, she found herself entering into a conspiracy.
The script was written in an alphabet that no person
other than herself could have known, and in a language from another time and
place entirely, with no connection to the modern world.
She had to stretch her mind in unexpected ways to even
recognize the pattern. When she did she was astounded.
She was faced with a puzzle like no other she had ever
seen.
