Dead-Man's Letters

Thu Nov 5, 2009, 11:44 AM
A couple of weeks ago a man died in the apartment below me; he was young, it was suspicious, the police sealed off the apartment while they did an autopsy.
His girlfriend had called the cops from a payphone and then disappeared.
Yesterday, the police seal was off the apartment door and all the contents of the death apartment were out on the street.
Skateboard decks, tattoo magazines, lace underwear, half a leather boot, a table covered in candlewax. This kind of thing.
Also, a box full of letters this dead man's girlfriend had sent to him while he was in jail.
Love letters between a dead man and his girl.
Well I couldn't just leave them out in the street like that. So while some night-time scavenger characters rifled through the shit picking out salvageable items (drill-bits, a chest of drawers, a bracelet, a matress- everything is gone this morning, not a trace left), I grabbed all these letters, fifty or sixty of them in all, and stuffed them in a plastic bag, tied it up, and stashed it in my closet.
Now, my question to you all is, considering my motivation is uncertain (why did I do this?), what do I do with them now?
Do I read this dead man's love letters? Do I dispose of them? Do I find out where this girl is and return them to her?
I put it to you. Please advise.

Scratch that last request. That was pathetic. Sorry.

Dude! I carry zero weight.
:iconrkrantz:
Weight is relative; as on different planets how physical mass differs, moral and aesthetic weight differs, blah blah blah... Whatever. People like what you do, and read it. Be proud.
:iconrkrantz:
Thanks for the heads up. How embarrassing! Can you please advise me on how to upload my story properly?
:iconakbarsimian:
Looks good now, you got it.
