Mom,

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write, but I know how sad you'll be when I'm gone. I need you to know, I'm not the son you thought I was. I shot Closton. It was a horrible accident, but I still blame myself. Every hour, every day, I wish he was back. He's the son you should mourn, not me.

Closton's face has haunted me ever since I was 11 years old. That's why I volunteered for Project Abraham - to replace my nightmares with worse nightmares and to make you safe. Since I couldn't save Closton from what I did to him, I wanted to save you. But, I don't think I ever stood a chance.

I saw things in Europe that I never want you to see, even though I fear that you will. In time, everyone's going to see them. They're everywhere and they can't be stopped.

This Austrian named Eigner, he took a picture of them. I think that Zeisz camera died with him - it was shot up real bad. That picture could change things, make people know what's going on. At least it could make things real - otherwise, maybe I'm just crazy and I dreamed the whole thing up with my nightmares.

Don't cry - we'll see each other in heaven, I'm sure.

Your loving son,

(Channing)
