Letter to a mother

Journal entry

 * Darling Mother,


 * Forgive me for fleeing without saying a word, but you know if Father learned my intentions he would sooner break my knees than allow me to leave. You must understand, the life of a village scribbler is not for me! I do not want to end up like Father, spending my entire life hunched over tomes and slowly losing my eyesight during days and nights spent in dark offices. I want to live a life of adventure! Perhaps one day I’ll visit you, my darling mother. Meanwhile, may you know health and happiness!


 * Your Loving Son,
 * Fabrice
