Jan. 30th, 2019 05:39 pmDear bro!
Stan wipes his arm roughly across his eyes and then leans in, squinting, to consider how the letter looks. The paper's got a big, rough tear along one side, stains, and writing on that splintered plank over his knees makes his letters - already aggressively big, like each one's trying to crowd the others off their line - all bumpy and uneven. The whole thing's got a secretive look to it, he decides, a desperate look, and he nods to himself, scooting further back under the Stan O' War's shattered hull to stay out of the wind.
I'm sorry I wasn't there when you got KIDNAPPED! I tried sailing the Stan O' War out to RESCUE you but without my trusty navigator I CRASHED and was BESET by a whole MOB OF MONSTERS whose mere COUNTANANCE was so TWISTED by ELDRICH HORRORS that I quail to even RECOUNT the event! They CAPTURED me and made me theirWAGE SLAVE!!!! Even now I may be risking my LIFE to write you this! Maybe even my very SOUL!!!! I beg you to escape from your FOUL CAPTIVITY and RESCUE ME!
S.O.S.
YOUR LOVING BROTHER
STAN
The letter, later, will be folded up in a yellowed envelope, addressed with ma's flowing cursive, and mailed out to Ford, wherever he is. It'll get ma off his back about helping his brother 'settle in' and it'll make Ford come back, so. Two birds with one stone. Now that's how you do it.
