Another short story, please enjoy!
I hope you are doing good, I hope you have found the success you deserve. I’m doing good life has its course and mines always moving forward. I found a new place to live a new adventure. You’d love it here. Works been good I’ve made good deals for the company. They’ve increased my pay because of it. I hope someday I’ll be able to share the wealth. For now however ill just be stuck in this moment. Until tomorrow opens up and the new dawn calls. I feel like I won’t leave much. Maybe a trinket here or there. I guess I’ll be content leaving memories for those who once knew me. I’m sorry the time was so short, the distance so long, the paths so diverse. I’m learning the hard lesson that wisdom is only built on the back of loss. You’ll do good, you’ll learn quicker than I did. I dont think ill leave much. To the moon and back.
The tear splashed off the ground at the same time as the letter. Her knees thudded on the wood floor as her sobbing wracked her body. The young sailor gripped his hat tighter in his hands. “I’m so sorry for your loss miss. He was one hell of a shipmate. He wanted you to have that letter.” The young sailor turned to hide the tears starting in his eyes as he walked away.
