My Dearest Jennifer
I write to you today almost a free man, soon the doors will open, and i shall once again embrace the clanking of chains and the scrape of rusty doors in the real world.
My last note to you almost feels uplifting in some way, perhaps it is the thought of sand, or swimming in the sea, or a screaming childs face.
The ball and chain becomes lighter with each passing moment, i may wonder, will humanity be the sculptor of it's own demise? or will we chain ourselves up as we do so many others who simply want to make the most of what they have.
It is quiet here, i can almost hear them shuffle in their sleep, it makes the suspense greater and greater. I hope our eventual meeting will be as enlightening as this one way message history we have acquired thus far.
I will see you soon, very soon

and the 2nd part of the 2nd sentence i like too. james writes that he's uplifted, but how can you capture the feeling & emotion of being uplifted? the visual imagery does a good job, me thinks (the sand & swimming at sea is slightly ambiguous, which is great, but i must say that the screaming child's face doesn't feel right to me, the feeling i get from that is fear & pain).
haha this is great, it does a good job of conveying a mood to me, good depth of feeling, which is what i'm all about. the suspense that this series leaves to me is like an endless road, it makes me wonder what the fsck his life is about.
I really was homesick there.
"The ball and chain becomes lighter with each passing moment, i may wonder, will humanity be the sculptor of it's own demise? or will we chain ourselves up as we do so many others who simply want to make the most of what they have."
I loved that.
I love it when imagery and literature fit so perfectly, that it brings you almost into piece.
