Title: A Letter Home
Word Count: 265
Rating: G
Notes: I was late to find this challenge, and so I'm late to fill something. I will try harder next time.

Dear Mom,

I should have listened to you, but I never did. I’ve been a bad person. I’ve been a bad friend. I’ve been a bad son. I have done such terrible things that if you look at me now, you would never see the child you struggled so hard to raise right.

I’m sorry I never talked to you before I left, or all the times when I had the chance. Now, it is different. Now, I feel strongly that if I do not write to you, I will never get a second chance. I do not even know if this will reach you, but I will try, and I will hope.

Mom, there are more things I must do that will hurt more people, but they must be done. You taught me to clean up my own messes, right? This is a mess I need to clean up, no matter what it takes. I hope in the end that I will succeed, and when my name is mentioned I will be a son you can be proud of.

I do not know how much you have heard about what I did, or how much of it you believe. I won’t ask you to forgive me, or wait for me to come home. There is a chance that I may never come home. I just want to say that I love you. Of everything that I have ever done against you or against anybody else, please keep on remembering that I love you.

Goodbye, Mom.

I love you very much.

I’m so sorry.

Your son, Riku

Aw, poor thing. I do wonder what happened to all the parents. The kids don't seem to even think about them in the games.

Wow, this one actually impressed me. It's so sad, though. :( I've never read something like this before, so it was very creative, too.

I like the different format for this and how personal it makes it. And the fact it's so simple makes it all the more sad. (Plus, it's always good to see a bit of love for the Destiny Island parents, especially as even their own kids seem to forget about them!)
