Silos Lead to SalvationBelieve it or not my high school is a circle. I was originally built as a bomb shelter back when Wisconsin had even less than it does now, and was in grave danger of all out nuclear warfare. It’s important to keep in mind that this is also when hiding under your desk like an animated turtle could save you from heavy radiation. The building is more like a prison these days, and I don’t mean a metal prison because no one really wants to be there (though maybe I do, a little.) It really is like a prison; only it’s dirtier. The walls are dingy white brick, the white ceiling looks like it’s made of balsa wood has water stains t

A Strange Letter Found

A much-folded and faded letter was found among the personal papers of Professor Howard Rice after his death in 1936. The contents, more than a little puzzling and troubling, are presented here unedited for your review.

June, 17th, 1908.

My Dear Friend Howard,

I am writing to you, from my room at the Kempler Arms, a run-down inn located in the God-forsaken port of Rockfish Harbor, North Carolina. I have just drank the contents of a bottle of brandy in the vain attempt to calm my nerves enough that I may commit the events of the last few days to paper before I collapse into much needed slumber.

I want you to take me
Like you’ve never taken anyone before,
Like you’ve never touched, felt, held anyone
Like you’ve never wanted, craved, anyone—
Anything.

Like you’ve never needed.

I want you to touch me
Like you’ve just discovered your hands,
To look at me
Like you’ve never had the power of sight.

I want you to love, love, love me
Like it’s keeping you alive,
Like I’m the organs, arteries, cells that keep you breathing.

But mostly—
I want you to have
Touched
Seen
Felt
Wanted
Craved
Loved
Plenty of times before.

But realize--
I am the one
that makes you believe it’s the first time
and know it’s the last time,
any of that will ever happen
with anyone

but

me.
