Letters from the Dead pt. 2


I had seen the letter sitting on my desk when I had walked into my office.
It was hidden right behind the plaque that read my name, Felicia Williams, and my job title, Assistant Principle.

It came in a plain, white envelope.  There was a stamp, and even a postmark.

That postmark that was only two days old. 

It had to be a joke, right?
Someone had to know about Cherish, about what had happened to her.
Right?

“Felicia…”
My secretary was still watching me.
“There are students you need to meet with.  From the Wheaton Prep Prom Committee.”

Prom… Prom…
I had things to focus on. 
I crumpled up the letter and tossed it into the trashcan.

No time for jokes.
