I'm just gonna try this. Almost definitely a one-shot.

I (klondike)
I'm just sitting up here.

Alone.

I have a deck of cards in front of me.

Remember how we used to play?

When we were young, we would hear songs of youth, fun, old age, work, love, heartbreak.

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus, but he

Talks like a gentleman

Like you imagined when you

Were young....

Carefree, unknowing we would play.

War, Go Fish, Cheat, and others.

We would play and listen...

We had no way of knowing what lay ahead.

How could we?

It's true that niether of us had the best home life...

My step-father and your step-mother.

They were not kind to us.

Drinking, smoking, disrespecting our parents.

We vowed one day we would run away.

We vowed we would turn into birds, like in Forrest Gump. Understanding that movie is too sad. I can't watch it without you. It breaks my heart.

Setting up solitare is not the same as setting up blackjack.

Klondike will only last so long before the table flips and so do I.

You aren't the only friend I've had, but you were my first friend. My best friend. Without you these cards don't seem like fifty-two individuals. They look like part of one, solitary deck.

I guess that's for a reason, though.
