I Can Barely Breathe
Page 8
I had a moment today, after the dust settled and the investigation ensued. I couldn’t get over how odd it was being in the famed barn, not seeing the memorabilia, framed pictures and documents that our future time has preserved.. It had a quiet feel, eerie and more still than I could handle.
It was difficult to sit back and watch this dreary portion of our town’s history take shape. I’m afraid my being here had pushed events off track, so I did my best to steer them back into place. I never got to say good-bye to my two good friends, and it will most definitely be odd not sharing any more cases with them. I’m sure, at some point, my mind will slip, and I will have a moment where I forget that they are gone. I fear that realization; it will be as if I’ve lost them all over again. I can’t help but feel alone in a world that is ever changing. After all, this town is my home, but this time is not.
As for the merger between the past and 1962, all I can tell you is that the military was involved. However, if these events had not taken place, I fear what may have become of our town. I will continue to send you updates on the events to come, for that now is my only priority. Our history is a unique one, and we may have our scars, but we are who we are because of the long, harrowing journey that made Sorrow’s Sky our own.
Good luck and Godspeed,
Kattic
October 26, 1962
He set down his pen and left his book open, so the ink would dry, then pulled a cigarette from a nearly empty pack. Striking the head of a match and burning the tip of the smoke, he sat back and inhaled. He exhaled. As he took a sip of red wine from a brandy glass, his pen lifted in the air and floated in front of him. Kattic knew it was only the beginning.
