Letter to Mom 4

Dear Mom,

Mick cornered me today. He told me I had to join his gang if I wanted to keep getting

food and water. A power play. I reminded him without me he would be rotting in his

cell. He reminded me that without and his pal Herbert, prison would be swarming

with Chimera. I wanted to tell him Herbert is not his pal, but that would have been a

bad idea. Anyway, there was nothing I could do. We are running out of food. I hope you

have food where you are, and I still hope you still have crosswords to keep busy.

Love, Dick.
