Letter for the man-Tracy

Dear ‘the man’

As this is not a formal letter, but just an assignment like I’m talking to myself, I would like to pass the usual expressions such as ‘how are you’ ‘isn’t the weather nice’ ‘I’m fine, thank you and you?’ These get you to yawn like a lion out on the deserts of Africa, taking a nap.
I’ve been reading about your journey and it seems okay, so far. Sometimes you say things that make me want to scream in frustration, but I am at school, aren’t I? So I can’t, but I wish I could. It gets so frustrating sometimes.
But toss those unexplainable sentences aside. There was something I wanted to say today; otherwise I would have gone for trying to decode quotes. Your quotes, to be exact. Do you perhaps know how hard it is to talk about what someone else said, even though you don’t even have a flake of knowledge about it? I guess you wouldn’t know, since you’re running around trying to keep your head on your neck. But you should know it’s very difficult. Stop talking such high-talk.
Now, about the ‘real subject’ I was thinking about.
I noticed that usually you comfort your little son in times of difficulty. This is very nice, of course, the intention to keep your boy safe and assured. But I think sometimes you are unreasonable.
If the boy says he might think you might lie about death, he is unhappy and nervous because of that thought. A father’s job is to soothe him, to make the boy feel he is safe. But you just say “But you think I might lie to you about dying. Okay. I might. But we’re not dying.” You are saying ‘Hey son I am going to lie to you about dying, but believe me!!! We’re not dying!!!’ Who in their right mind would believe that?
Also you should listen to your son. Yes, your son is afraid of a lot of things he needn’t be afraid of. But he has his instincts, and the house with the imprisoned people is a good example of why you should listen to him.
But I love the way you are thinking and caring about the boy. In that way you are acting just like a loving, caring father should. But improve on the ‘connection & comfort’ part.
Oh my, only a hundred words left! What should I say? Oh, yeah, I guess I should say some good things now. I think that you are being very careful in most ways, which is, obviously, exactly what a person should do in this dangerous situation. I was really impressed, because If I were in the situation you were in, I probably would have panicked and someone might have gotten my head as a little souvenir. Ew, gross. But that’s the truth. So keep up the good work!
It is almost time for me to go, yet I want to give you a parting bit of advice: you should take care of yourself! You may think, ‘oh, my son’s health is more important than mine,’ but if you died who would care for the boy? Without you your son would be in more danger than in which he is in now, and that is a really serious thing.
I have to go now. Really, take care of yourself! Bye.
