Dear Corinthia,
I had a dream last night, instead of responding to your letter in a
reasonable amount of time. All that happened in this dream was that I sat on
my computer to write a message to my father. It’s been frustrating,
anticipating his return. You may be okay with waiting for answers, or even
never getting them, but I don’t think I can do that. I appreciate your plea
to not leave the dome, and I promise that I won’t go try to intercept him. I
suppose my brain was trying to reconcile that, so it came up with a fantasy
scenario where I got to tell him off anyway, and express how I really feel
about what he may or may have done to us. I don’t normally write or read in
dreams, but now that you and I are connecting almost every week, my mind is
getting used to the concept on a subconscious level. The dream felt so real,
and even does now that I’m awake. If I had been flying over the oceans, or
fighting off giant monsters, my waking self would acknowledge that that
couldn’t have happened, and been able to move on. But this, the way that it
was so mundane, and something that I actually could have done, I can’t let
it go. What’s even more annoying is that I can’t even remember what was in
the letter! I keep sitting down to rewrite it in the real world, but nothing
comes out. I will never get it back, which is a shame, because it was so
perfect. That’s how it seemed anyway. I know that it wasn’t real, but it
feels like I spent a lot of time crafting a perfect speech, and now, not
only is it gone, but it probably wasn’t all that relevant. It was most
likely total nonsense. And I still need to come up with something good. I
need to write him something for real, whether it’s as amazingly pointed as
the fake original or not. On top of this whole ordeal, I didn’t get very
much sleep. Or rather I didn’t wake up well-rested. So maybe I should wait
to write it either way. Maybe I should delete what I’ve written to you here,
and start over with your letter too. What do you think? Give me your
thoughts on this message right away, so I can write you a new one tomorrow
if I need to. Lol, I’m joking, but I really should get some sleep, because
it almost feels like breaking the laws of physics makes sense as an idea.
Your catfish,
Condor
