Unopened Letters 소설 & 이야기

Look at this. The letters in the drawer, unread in sequence. The letters Alexander writes to Dom every year, on the anniversary, in the same notebook, with the same pen. The letters that are never sent, that are never read by anyone except the person who writes them, that are sealed in envelopes and placed in the drawer and left there. The letters that say: this is what happened this year. This is what I learned. This is what I miss. The letters that are the truest thing Alexander writes all year, because they are written to someone who cannot respond, who will never respond, who is the only person who would have understood the person Alexander was before. ---

Now she stood at the center of many of them. Not because somebody placed her there. Because she belonged there. The realization felt strangely emotional. The following week introduced another unexpected development. One that nobody anticipated. Especially Adrian. A letter arrived. An actual handwritten letter. Interesting. Very interesting.

"He said that after 30 years, we could open it, cut off some meat, and use it to make the aromatic pork he promised. "But, unfortunately, the year you turned 22, your mother couldn't wait any longer, and she opened the jar early to harvest some meat."

"I didn't know. I would have — I don't know what I would have done. But I would have done something." "I believe that," Claire said, and to Amara's astonishment her eyes filled. "That's the part I didn't expect. That I would believe it."She pushed the box across the table with both hands. "Forty-one letters," she said. "I haven't read them. I want you to know that. I opened the lid and saw what they were and I closed it again. They were never mine."

Amelia sat at her table, her heart racing as she cautiously opened up the letter in her hands. The envelope bore no return deal, simplest her name scrawled in a hurried, jagged handwriting. She felt a cold chill run down her spine as she recognized the call of the sender, Gray, her sworn enemy.

“I guess even though I did find out bits and pieces over the years, the doubt still remains.” “Well, Mackenzie Natrol, you shouldn’t have that doubt. I never wanted you to feel that. I wish I could go back and remember that one email address. Then we would have never lost contact. It is all my fault.” Haven said as she could feel the years of trying to bury the guilt she had about not writing it down. It was all coming out in her voice as she felt her eyes glaze over. Normally not an emotional person it was weird that he could make her cry so easily but she knew it was the guilt of forgetting that one small detail that changed the course of hers and his life.

Curious, she called Alex and Emilia over as she carefully pried it open. Inside was a stack of letters—some yellowed with age, others preserved carefully in sealed envelopes. At the very top was one addressed to The Next Generation of Cains. Emilia’s hands trembled as she unfolded the letter and began to read aloud:

I pulled it out and opened it. It contained letters. Dozens of them. All sealed in neat, cream-colored envelopes. Some tied with a red ribbon, most opened and placed back as if someone had read them in secret and then tried to forget they ever existed. I picked up the first letter, carefully unfolding it. “To the woman who doesn’t know I exist, Each day, I see you. Not just your smile, but the way you pause when no one’s watching. The way you hide behind that perfect mask. I don’t know what burdens you carry, but I wish I could ease them. Even from afar.

"No...but James, there's nothing that could happen right now that'd be worse than anything that has already happened." I exhaled. I wanted to feel relieved but I didn't. "Just read it." "Okay..." She opened the first letter. I made sure to arrange it chronologically in the order of the dates written on them. The first few letters were exchange of warm greetings from my father. They felt like letters that were never sent. I began to wonder if Justin Anderson ever knew these letters even existed. The last letter was the first subtly act of betrayal,it wasn't as deep as the first three and it was the only letter with a stamp on it.
