The Silent Child Boxset

by Roger Hayden

  On the table sat an old shoebox. He opened the box and saw a stack of Polaroid photos and letters. Each photo appeared to be a young Rachel in high school with a boy who resembled Landon. The closer he looked at the photos, the more he could see it. His wife and Landon. Together. He grabbed the first letter and read it aloud.

  I think you’re a great guy, Landon. We had a lot of fun this year. Maybe we can hang out some more over the summer. You’re smart and fun to be around, and I hope we can take that trip to D.C. like we talked about. Don’t let the pressures of the senior year get to you. Whatever happened between us, just know that I do still like you and want to be your friend. Over time, maybe something more. Don’t forget about me, and I’ll do the same. Talk to you soon – Rachel.

  Dobson lowered the letter and stared ahead. There were several others where that had come from. He set his cell phone onto the table nearby, took a seat, and dug through the rest of the box, grabbing a handful of letters. He couldn’t help but to read them.
