The Letter
By Rachel Middlebrook

That’s what’s on the envelope.
Nothing else.
No return address.
No stamp.
Nothing.
I pry open the envelope with my fingers.
I was never good at opening letters.
I always tore the paper in such a way that
Made it unrecognizable after.
But I wanted to save this one.
My eyes scan the letter.
My eyes scan the letter once more.
My eyes scan the envelope.
My eyes burn.
My eyes drain.
“Missing in Action.”
