INGRID, I remember I used to visit you and Craig at your old house on Webster Avenue in Abington, a plain old house, like one's grandparents might have lived in. 

Tonight you are sleeping under an enormous moon, a blurry moon, as if it has a lace curtain pulled over it. If only you could see it.

People nowadays don't necessarily believe in an afterlife. You and I never spoke about that. Where were our deep conversations? 

I had actually written a poem about you and Craig when you were getting ready to sell your house on Webster Avenue. You loved the poem. So did he. I mentioned his hairy chest. Both of you had a deep interest in the arts.

I see now I must write a short story about you both. Remember that moon, Ruthie, and your cornbread and berries. How bout a nice glass of cold milk?

Of course.

Did I mention my new slippers came in the mail today?

Zappos. 7 M

You had a big upright piano at home. Did you sell it to Van Jeweler?

A cool breeze enters my living room. Kyle, an exterminator, was roaming our neighborhood for hours today, trying to get customers. That's why I should close and lock my door.

So long for now, Ingie. They are getting you ready for your last performance on earth. Tomorrow.
