Subject: Do you miss me?

Yesterday, the DSL at the house died, which is why I didn’t write. But my friend Nacho changed the thing, and now it’s back up. Are you really never going to answer me?

Subject: I’m getting tired.

Let’s see ... I’ve been writing to you since September 3, and you never respond. Are you ever going to answer? Are you doing this just to make me mad? As you can imagine, my apartment is as clean as a whistle.

Kiss,

Judith

Subject: Surrender

OK ... I see your answer is not to answer.

You goddamned conceited obstinate man, you know how very proud I am. Don’t you see how I’m swallowing my dignity every day for you?

This is my last message. If you don’t answer, I’m never going to write you again. Just so you know.

No kisses this time,

Judith

Just so you know, I’m really pissed now. How can you be so proud?
