Dearest Uncle Fraser,
It’s been so long since we met. When I received my gift by courier I was pleasantly surprised. It was very thoughtful of you to send me a pair of swimming goggles. I’ve wanted them for as long as I can remember; so when I received them on my birthday it was a dream come true.
I immediately went swimming armed with my new goggles. They are a perfect fit Uncle Fraser, and watertight as well. I can now swim underwater, something I’ve always wanted to do. It was very considerate of you to pick a pair with dark glasses as the sun shines relentlessly on the pool everyday but thanks to the dark glasses I don’t have to squint my eyes while swimming anymore.
I have a week off from college in August. If it is alright with you, I would love to come visit you. I’ve written a lot of poems since we last met and a special one just for you. I will bring it along when I come to meet you.
With love and best wishes,
Your loving nephew,

I had an unusual day today. A box showed up on my doorstep and everything changed. At first, I was enjoying a good bowl of cereal and then my doorbell rang. I opened the door and there was the mailman, standing with a nervous looking face. That was unlike him, so I asked him what was wrong. He said "This box gives me a weird feeling.." but I thought maybe he was playing a prank on me or trying to scare me. I said "C'mon! It's just a box. Nothing is gonna happen!" He handed me the box and said "Well, see for yourself..." I gave him a strange look after I said goodbye and he ran off to the left of my house. I opened up the box and there was a book with a strange symbol on it. I opened the book and saw an unusual language written in it. I threw the book in a drawer and decided not to waste time on it. But after that I felt... strange. I was more anxious and my heart was beating faster. I went back to the book and decided to try and decipher it, but I couldn't. Apparently, the writing was in some ancient language. So I ditched it again and decided to take a nap.
