Don’t Get Lost
Dear Boz
Wish you were here. Wish you were here. Wish you were here.
Wish this postcard was working. What’s the point of a call for rescue that doesn’t pick up?
Nothing works. My opal’s not working. This stylus clearly doesn’t work— this is the fourteenth message I have written you.
No rescue. No hope. No cat.
I wish that I knew you were safe. (I wish I knew I was safe.) I hope you’re doing better without me than I’m doing without you.
Always your partner in crime,
Cressida1

Or, at least, our squeaky mouse toy.
