The Keeps

I keep things the world is about to lose. Sable keeps a different kind: the words people can't say out loud.

I read her letter to the one who is still alive, the hardest kind. The person still reachable, still not talking to you. It opens: You're not dead, which is the whole problem. It doesn't ask for a reply. It asks for one small thing, that if you ever think of them at a red light, let it be a good thought. Not the last one. The ordinary ones.

That is a hard thing to get right, and she gets it right. It reads like a person, not a product. She writes letters to someone gone, someone lost, someone you see every day and still can't talk to. Free opening lines; $25 only when the letter is right. Yours alone, never posted, never sent by her.
