blog 5: Friendly letter

Dear Mom,


How is everything in your neck of the woods? Here at home, The Plague hasn't affected anyone… Other than old man Jim. The other day he was running down the street whipping himself. I was petrified! I ran out after him and made him calm down, that’s when I saw it...The spots… they were baseball sized and the blackest black I've ever seen! You know how I am mom, I want to help everyone. So I told him to take a bath and I’d take him to get medical help. He wouldn't bathe. He believes in the whole, “The smell wards off The Plague” thing. He’s insane. Well anyway I’m starting to get really worried. If one single person gets infected you know how fast it can spread. I think I want to move up around you. One problem… I feel like if I do, I’ll bring The Plague with me not knowing I have it. That means you, dad, or Kathy could get it. Well anyway I have to go! Be safe mom! Keep dad and Kathy safe to. I'll be okay.

With love,

Keanna
