Carlie’s Chapter 2—Dear Tiger: I Don’t Think I’m Human Anymore

LAST WEEK, Simone was somewhere new, and under close supervision. This week, we get to see Tiger's reply.Chapter 2 – I'll Be Here

Dear Simone
Just to let you know I got your letter, and I really hope you are okay.I got to read a lot of it, including the bit where you said not to worry about it if there were black bits. I have to tell you, it’s really hard not to worry about the black bits; they always seem to appear just when your words are getting interesting. I hope the next letter doesn’t have as many.I’m not sure what the delay was in sending your last letter. The black bits covered that bit up. I guess it’s because you got sick. I really hope they let you out of your bubble, soon. It must really suck to not be able to hug your mum and dad without plastic in between. And the whole not being able to talk thing. That sucks, too.Those black bits in your letter are really annoying. I missed the whole sentence that came before when you told me some people were stupid and then grew up to run companies, and then the next bit. I think it was a whole paragraph. It was just before you asked me if I would help you.Of course I will help you. You are my best friend, even if we don’t get to see each other very much. I miss you heaps.And heaps, and heaps, and heaps.I really want to come and visit. Do you think they’ll let me see you?Are you well enough?Or should I wait until you get better?And don’t worry about how boring the class stuff is.YOU GET TO DO XENOBIOLOGY!!!!!!!And be nice to your doctors. They probably don’t like prodding you, just as much as you don’t like being prodded. Just answer their questions; it makes them go away quicker. And take care of yourself!I have almost finished the next round of courses, and I’m helping mum and dad with their work out on Deskeden.THERE ARE FOSSILS!!!!I am so excited! If you couldn’t tell.Anyway, I will send you pictures, as soon as I’m allowed. And then I will try to get permission to see you. Who knows? Maybe they will have let you out of your bubble by then.I really hope so. And I hope it’s soon.

Thinking of you

Tiger

P.S. I will ALWAYS be around for you. All you have to do is say so. If you need me there, just call.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The complete series is available as short, individual ebooks, and will become available as an omnibus, later this year. In the meantime, you can find them on this blog, until one week after the last chapter in the last book of the series has been posted, at which point this series will be taken down, and a new series serialised on site.
