The letter came in a plain white envelope with our address hand-written in shaky blue script.

The letter was anonymous, of course, signed “Your Friends.” The handwriting and contents offered few clues to the writer’s identity. We wonder at the occasional neighbor who no longer smiles and waves at us, who no longer looks us in the eye. But honestly, we don’t worry about who sent the letter.
