Dear Alex #1

The first letter

August 3^rd 1992

 

Hello there Alex. Its Rita here, do you remember me? I remember you, I used to watch you when you went to school. I used to watch you in your garden to. Are you still a pretty boy? They put me away for watching you, you know. Locked me up, said I was dangerous, but I never would have hurt you, you know that right? I wanted to hold you, have you as my own, but never hurt you. No never. How are your parents? Still as wrapped up in their own little world as before? Do they pay attention to you? Or are you still lonely? I am not writing to scare you, I’m writing because I am lonely to, and you are the only person who ever made me feel different.

Oh Alex, I do hope you are happy, and I do hope you write back to me.

I would never hurt you.

I just want to not be alone

I Love you

Rita

I am a fan of epistolary novels and since I'm writing one myself, it's nice to know another fellow writer is too. This is a very adequate opening which would let you wonder one thing:
Exactly, what is Alex going to say back?
Is he going to freak out and as a result, he vents out his reaction on paper?

If I were Alex, I could've been worried. But at the same time, this isn't actually a beginning and I love that it isn't. What engages me into a story is to know that people have a life before the story actually is told. There are some stories out there which actually introduce but make it seem like nothing happens until they tell it. I hope you understand what I'm saying, dear :)

But overall, it makes me question the backstory. Did she actually have sexual desires towards him. Or is she using him just to NOT be alone? I will find out as I read his response. I enjoy it.
