In the midst of a war, a young girl writes to her beloved friend in hopes he will receive them. He has left her behind to protect her and the world from devastation. However, she is left alone in her small town hoping that one day, he will be back safe and sound.

       I rolled up the letter into a nice small tube and tied the string to it in order to keep it in place. At the end of the string was a red balloon.

        I opened the window and let the wind burst through as I tucked my hair behind my ear. A smile plastered upon my face. I reached out to feel the breezing air with the letter in my hand. I let it go and watch as the letter disappear from my eyesight. I clasped my hands together.

       I hope you get this letter, Tao.
