A crumpled paper found. Softened through the wrinkles of time. Pen ink muddled, water stained or tears? Words, faded now, the hurt had not. I am left to wonder who? Opening to smooth the deeply etched request, I read simple words rejected in haste.
My dear Molly,
I am sorry. I love you. Won’t you stay?
Love, James
My eyes misty and I wish for his second chance.

I REALLY like this piece. The description of the letter itself is the best part. The question of why the ink looks as it does is what stands out the most.
I don’t really have much more to contribute outside of GOOD JOB!!

I really like the way that you introduced this piece. Lovely images- “a crumpled paper found, softened through the wrinkles of time,pen ink muddled, water stain or tears?” Such beautiful writing. This writing stands alone or could be used as the introduction to a longer story. Does the reader know or meet James? Fall in love with or encounter James? Who is this character, James? So many lovely possibilities!

Definitely works now, but easily the start of a long piece.
“simple words rejected in haste” – nice phrase!

Thank you so much… I’m thrilled that many see it as a long piece as well. I will certainly explore this beginning. This is much more fun than Facebook!
