The Letter Experiment
If you could write a letter to anyone, known or unknown, dead or alive, in your neighborhood, from a movie, a band, a play, a comedian- anyone- would you share it? Do it now. Just for this prompt. Letters should start out "dear (so and so)," and can be up to 500 words. Example recipients are many: Robin Williams, George Clooney, your father, your ex husband, Barack Obama, Marilyn Monroe, Mila Kunis, Jonathan Davis, the bus driver, the uber driver, etc. This is an experiment, not a competition, so shoot for likes but aim for your recipient. Details: This is a test of how much people enjoy letters as an outlet. Who knows, a future website may showcase letters from all over the world. But for now, write a letter (or two).

Dear Lucy

Dear Lucy, stop sharing this way. You keep overloading the packages, and they break before they’ve arrived. Dear Lucy, I’m not trying to tell you what to do, I’m just trying to help, and yes I know, you’ve heard that before. It’s just that, I don’t think that everyone gets where you’re coming from. I don’t think that everyone gets where they’re coming from. Dear Lucy, I’m sorry that things happened this way. I’m sorry about how many things you can remember. And no. I don’t think that most people have so many things to remember. And no. I don’t know how to stop the memories, but Dear Lucy, it just runs in your family, this heaviness, and this running, Dear Lucy, I don’t know what you mean about feeling too small and too large all at once, but I’m sure that you could just call it antithesis, Dear Lucy, Dear Lucy, have you tried sleeping? Have you been eating? Dear Lucy, you have to sleep, Dear, Lucy, stop crying, stop holding those hands, stop overfilling, you’re not under-filled, and I swear one day you’ll be full, if you’d just stop giving so much away, Dear Lucy, I think I understand now, and Dear Lucy, we’re spiraling. Dear Lucy, don’t leave. Dear Lucy, I’m leaving, stop writing me here.
