Deliveries for Eris, Icene and Joe
Another fat, brown package envelope came for Joe. After opening it and reading the short note inside, he separated the contents and made sure they got where they were supposed to go.
At the front desk he left:
Eris,
You know what I've discovered? It's the weirdest things that I miss. I mean sure, there's the expected stuff: you, Icene, Joe, my own bed... But I also miss grass. The feel of it, the color, hell, even the smell of it. And that's not all, I miss other inane things.
The smell of the poolhouse - hmm, chlorine - on a hot day, the way my hands get all greasy and nasty after changing the oil in my truck.... Believe me, it's a long, very sad list and I won't bore you with the rest of it.
Anyway, the camera I'm sending you has the pictures I promised, I hope you like them. Sorry you have to get the camera and not the pictures themselves, but, well, I don't really have anyway to get them developed myself.
So, tell me, what have I missed while I've been gone? Joe, bless him, has tried to keep me up to date, but you know how he is. I want all the details.
Look forward to your next letter!
~Adam
PS - Only a few more weeks!
Included with Eris's letter is a disposable camera with her name written on the back of it in sharpie containing photos of sunrises, sunsets and few candid photos of Adam himself around the base.
Icene,
Okay, so I know I'm sending this before I'm actually supposed to call you, so please, forgive me if any of this repeats.
I don't think there's anything about this place I'm gonna miss, I can't wait to get home. Only a few more weeks now, are you excited yet? I know I am. I can't wait to get home. I don't know what I want to do first, but of course, I want you to be right there with me with I do figure it out.
Oh! Here's one of camera's Joe sent me, I finally got it full for ya. Granted, I doubt very much you'll find the pictures as entertaining as the ones you sent me, but hopefully you'll like 'em just as much. And don't worry, the picture with the gerbil thing - we peeled it off the trap and let it go. No harm done.
Speaking of which, thanks for the things you sent in the package. I had to give away some of the popcorn to get my mooch bunkmates off my back, but I got to enjoy the rest of it. I've even got a few little things left, hidden safely under my cot.
Well, I should probably get back to work, babe, I'll talk to you soon. Can't wait to get home.
~Adam
PS - Hope you like the wrap. It reminded me of your hair.
Included with Icene's letter is another camera, this one filled with pictures of Adam and few things around the base he thought she'd find interesting, such as a picture of one of the desert's resident rodents that had been trapped. Also he sent a gift, a silky wrap in pale gold.
Because of neither of them would fit under their respective doors.
Luckily he didn't have to worry about that with his own letter and he merely slipped that into his pocket to enjoy after dinner.
