A List

A list of letters, by Maggie May Ethridge

1 Dear Percy ( Percy the dog 1980-1990, died of unknown causes in our backyard, Shetland
Sheepdog, black white brown color, remembered for the clip clip clip noise of his nails on
the floor as he ran to my bedroom, the snuff of his wet nose, the retrieving of any sizable
object, 4am runs with Mom, licking tears of sisters faces while parents screamed )

2 Dear Lura ( Disappeared sister, born 1976, very high IQ, excruciatingly soft-spoken,
gorgeous, tall, tortured )

3 Dear Baby ( Lost Curry baby, lost June 2009 in the early morning hours at 13 weeks old )

4 Dear Unnamed ( Possible higher power, God, Allah, Buddha, Nature, unknown address
and existence )

5 Dear Bridget ( Former best friend from ages 13-16, boyfriend killed in drunk driving accident
at 21, last known qualifiers, meth addiction, alcoholism, despair )
