Second letter to Athena



A friend decided to play with my camera while I was zoned out. Since I know I was thinking about you there, I figured I might as well send you the result.

Life out here is so damn different, and it makes the Deck seem like a fairytale or a dream by comparison. It's all so... vast, but there's a sense of reality to it as well. It has... weight. I think maybe it suits me better, I've always been a little too down to earth to quite mesh with the small scale and grand ambitions of the Deck. That probably sounds backwards, but I know what I mean. Things just feel... more accurately proportioned here. Well, to me that is.

I don't know if you'd like it as much. Probably not. You are made of the stuff of dreams and legends. Of fairytales when they were still meant to be frightening as well as fascinating.

Knowing that you exist makes me believe that anything is possible.

First letter to Athena

It's just a plain, white little envelope with her name and address neatly written on it. Inside lies a single picture with a few words on the back. It took him hours to decide on them and he littered the floor around his desk chair with rejected drafts.
