Amrys's letters

Amrys keeps letters written on scrap paper stashed in the back of her locker.

Мама,

I hope you have not been worried. Maybe there is good reason, but I must assure you, that I am well. The past... nearly five years! Have been almost a blur. This is the first I've been able to write. I hope I can find a post to Новгород.

Maybe I should start at the beginning, but I think for now it is better to explain where I am. I am in a strange city called Midian. It is on an island; I don't know, exactly where. I am living with a group of cats, who call themselves ,,The Catwalkers." This name, I think, is because they own the catwalks over the city--it is our territory. This city is so crowded, but that is partly because up high, there are so few. It seems that many humans fear heights! And there are many humans here.

I am learning much. Did you know, that we speak two languages? I did not know language meant more than just the means of communication. They are called ,,Russian" and ,,English." Russian is the words like ,,кошка"; English is words like "cat."

Right now I am training for a job. I get paid перввй раз today. I think I will not explain this job until I tell you about before I arrived here. It is a good job, не беспокоись! It does involve self-defense training. My trainer is another Catwalker named Beast. She is scary, but also a good friend. We--Beast, myself, Ravi, Jes, Dazy, and a few other Catwalkers--went camping earlier this week. We behaved as kittens, and that is part of what made me decide to write.

Ешё раз, я прошу тебя, что не беспокоишься. I am happy and about as safe as one can be in such a city as this. I have a warm and safe home, good friends, and soon I will have a well-paying job in security.

I leave a space for when I find out if we have a proper address. I'm sorry, I know you must have been worried. Пиши меня! Будь здорова!

Котёнка твоя,
Амрысь
