You probably won't believe this, but I am alive, as of now. So you probably want to know what happened to me. Well, just to remember the memory, I'll tell you. So it all started out with me running into the woods with Risa and Lev. Risa is a ward, and Lev is a tithe. We were able to successfully sneak into a school to hide out. Of course, the tithe ratted us out. So now, Risa and I end up stuck in a basement. The basement may be small and dirty, but the people there are better people than you will ever be. As you can tell, I figured out that you were going to unwind me. How could you? I hope you feel sorry for yourselves, considering that I have made many new friends here. But I just can't help asking questions. Why did you want to get rid of me? Why didn't you ever tell me? I found some unwind papers in your draw the other day. What kind of people could do this to there kid? I thought you were my parents. Parents are supposed to love their kid. Even if their kid may bring trouble, it is supposedly your job to care for your kid. Isn't that why you choose to have children? To love them? Here, I have found people who love me more than you ever did. Maybe you did care for me when I was a baby. But that was only because you didn't know me then. Throughout my elementary years, you knew I was a trouble maker, but you never confronted me. You never helped me. All you guys ever did was fake loving me, and that is the worst kind of love. I hope your happy with your decision, because you may never see me again. I hate you for what you've done, and I'll never forgive you. Next time, I wouldn't recommend unwinding a trouble maker. I hope you remember that tough people have more perseverance and strategy than a well behaved person. I love you.
Your one time son,

I have always loved you for your support. I have always felt lucky that you were my teacher. You have always been the closest thing to parents for me. You probably heard that I have been unwound. Well, you are wrong. I am safe. I have been hidden in a small basement for the past days. Tomorrow, the others and I will be sent somewhere. I am interested to know where. Every since I got on that bus, one question still haunts me. Why didn't you come to say goodbye to me? It reminds me about how useless I am. Without my amazing teacher, I really am nothing. You were the one comforting person whom could make me feel better about being unwound. Even though I have always loved you, I am questioning your loyalty right now. I know you wanted to see my hands in Carnegie Hall some day. Are you sad, that that dream may never come true, even if my hands are one someone else's body? Do you really miss me? Since I may not live to 18, I wanted to ask you something. You always told me I was good, but never excellent. Why didn't you ever tell me about how competitive piano is? The minute I thought about going on that bus, I tried my hardest to persuade the headmaster that I could follow another path. But, the headmaster just couldn't let me. I just can't believe that an obedient child like me could be sent to harvest camp. I can't believe that I am being sentenced for not being good enough. I have always had a passion for music. You should know that most of all. Did you ever try to stop them? If you tried, I want to say thank you, even if I'm still faraway from home and you. I guess I should be grateful that I am here instead. 
Your grateful student,
Risa]]> 2017-11-19 21:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/solidstar2397/1vtg82bcrcsg/wish/208532639 solidstar2397 https://padlet.com/solidstar2397/1vtg82bcrcsg/wish/208534347 2017-11-19 21:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/solidstar2397/1vtg82bcrcsg/wish/208534347 solidstar2397 https://padlet.com/solidstar2397/1vtg82bcrcsg/wish/208534453 2017-11-19 21:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/solidstar2397/1vtg82bcrcsg/wish/208534453
