His letter
1 stare at the piece of paper on my table, not really sure what to do about it.
I was now at home. I had gotten back like an hour ago. The whole time, I spent it debating whether I should open it or tear it to pieces
The paper had been burning a hole in my purse the entire time I drove back home. Now, here I am
Still staring at it.
A part of me was curious about it contents. The other didn’t much care about what was written. The man who wrote it hated me. What good could come out of reading a letter written by him?
I pick it up, about to tear it, but a voice stops me.
‘Just read the damn thing. What’s the worst that could happen?‘ my inner voice whispers.
I cringe at the words.
Famous last words. I think to myself.
The worst thing that could happen is he hurts me.
Words were dangerous. They cause more damage than any weapon can. I still remember some of the harsh words my so called parents said to me over the years. The wounds their words inflicted
have never truly healed.
‘Just open it!‘ the voice screams.
Not giving myself a second to back out, I unfold the letter.
[Dear Ava,
If you’re reading this then it’s because I didn’t make it out of surgery. Truth be told, I don’t think I
will. They’re trying to save me not knowing that their efforts are futile. I am too far gone and I can already see you grandparents calling me to come join them. It may be the imagination of a dying
man or not, but I believe I have a special place in hell for how I treated you.
You were such a sweet girl when Winnie left you with us, but we destroyed that. We destroyed
your light and I will forever regret that I did that to you my sweet girl.
I remember when she still had you. I used to play with you and Emma. You were so innocent and
