My Special Letter

I checked my mailbox and found a letter. 

Written on the letter was 'Think of a memory and look inside' so I thought and thought and out jumped a memory. 


I watched me and my friend Piri flip back off the sand. We laughed while everyone is watching. When the memory finished it slipped back inside the envelope. 


Then five photos came flipping out. They were photos of me and all my friends at my graduation. I hear everyone laughing. I feel like I am there. I look at the photos of me and my friends posing like weirdos. That was the best night ever. 


The photos go back into the envelope and I hear bang coming from the letter. 

Boom, boom, boom! 


It was my imaginary friend. He was back!  I had forgotten about him because I had gotten older but I missed him. He would look after me at night. He was big and purple. He cried candy so I would tell him a sad story whenever I wanted candy. We said goodbye and then he went back into the letter. 


Now I know that my favourite memory is inside a letter and only a thought away.
