Dear Cards: An Epistolary Short Story

It's hard to forget who you are.

But it's harder to forget those you love.

Kidnapped by the government at age fifteen, Dylan Keller is an elite assassin for the emperor, assigned with taking out those who oppose his regime.

The only way to keep his morality in a place made to make him forget his old life is writing letters to "Cards", a girl that he'd only began to love before he was taken.

But how long will it be before the program finally steals his soul?

Dear Cards is a story of loss, ache, regret, and heartbreak. The letters slowly unravel a bigger world behind the scenes—a world of danger and despair, one that echoes the dark corners of our own. Even so, that doesn't stop the light from slipping through the cracks, and hope, resilience, and redemption shine through. Though it's a quick read, the narrative is packed with raw emotion and an intrigue that expands into the broader world beyond the confines of this short story. I recommend this to anyone who loves the deep themes that come behind the high-stakes action in the adventure genre."
