Goodbye Letter

Dear Asher,
It has come to my attention that this world is not what it used to be. Have you ever felt the feeling of love, the wanting? I'm sure you have. But what if we were not forced to suppress these feelings, what if love and the wanting could be a normal part of our lives? I am not allowed to share anything about my training, but it has to be done. In my training I have seen things and felt things that most people in our community could not imagine. But I have to share this with you, we have been friends since the day we met, and there is no one who I trust more in this world than you. This is probably the last time you will hear from me, and I have written this letter to explain about my training and the things that happened during it. I have received memories from people who lived generations before us. They show color, something that fills the world with definition and puts the amazing details of expression and feeling into life. Did you know that there is a white, cold and soft material called snow? What a wonderful feeling it has, how it pricks your hands and melts on the tip of your tongue, it falls in tiny crystals, beautiful masterpieces so small that they fit in between the spaces between your teeth. but I have also seen more brutal things. Animals being killed, for instance, and yes there used to be animals that walked the earth with us. Dogs, cats, bears, birds, all gone now, but not in the eyes of the memories I viewed. If only you truly knew what was once, all the beautiful things you could see, all the feelings waiting to be explored, and once you have had a taste surely you would never get enough. But a piece of advice from an old friend. Watch closely Asher, you will see what I mean.
-Greatest Regards, Jonas.
