A Letter to Home

Sender: Zack Fair
To: All
Subject: No Subject (Backdated to the first week)

[ Words that begin to appear in the journals are written slowly, as if with intent. The handwriting is... coherent at best at this slower pace, but every word is coming in gradually and seemingly with more frustration.

Guess who thinks this is just a plain ol' journal to use? ]

Dear Aeir
What's up!?
Hello! Hey th———

Hey Aerith.
Hope things are going well?? good for you

[ UGH ]

Sorry it's taken so long for me to write back... I know youve been waiting a long time
I can't call right now but soon, okay?

Theirs theres lots of weird stuff going on that I'll explain when I get back.
So... yeah. See you soon
Regard [ No that was SO STUPID ]
bye

[ The words at the bottom of the page are suddenly cut out, as if completely disregarded or tossed away.

But seconds later another one appears: ]

Hello!

[ Nope that one is gone, too. ]

its a real bummer
my hand is going to start cramping if i have to write all the time!!

[sleepsalot]

It kinda sucks. I wish i could just send a text or even make a phone call.

[ And he's not big on talking on the phone, but it sure beats this. ]

I guess i'm kinda used to this, though. I used to write to one of my friends in a notebook we sent back and forth to each other

[theheroics]

did you? thats kind of neat tho
i guess they say its more personal that way? but idk i just feels easier to send a text yknow?

[sleepsalot]

cause it is easier to text... and you can't really play games with this thing, either.

[ Well.. ]

maybe tic-tac-toe or hangman, but that's not what i'd consider fun.

[theheroics]

[sleepsalot]
