Lost 2.17.10 — “The Substitute”

Dear John,

Glad to hear things are looking up for you. When you sent me that email saying you had been fired, I was worried. Not to rub it in, but I told you blowing off that conference to go on Walkabout was a bad idea. Did that tall, skinny black guy still tell you to do that? That guy’s weird.

I know you tend to get in the dumps about being in the wheelchair — you still haven’t told me how that happened, by the way. I head some rumor your dad did it, but since you’re still inviting him to your wedding, that can’t be true. Why would you invite the guy that tossed you out a window to your wedding?

But anyway, things seem to be okay now. Helen is super cool and obviously loves you. That Hugo guy seems awfully nice, too. I’m not so sure about this Ben guy, though. I mean, European History is cool and all, but he still creeps me out a little. I wouldn’t trust him.

Love,

me

(It’s a two parter! Letter 2 tomorrow!)
