WILLIAM I hope you are doing okay out there, wherever out there happens to be. Still wrangling chickens for period movies? Riding a getaway bus out of Portland?
Anyway, I hope I am not just talking to the night here. I don’t know where you are or whether you even read your Facebook feed since you have not posted here in a very long while, but I figure this is my best shot at contacting you. We are doing well enough ourselves, but Dogsplot is thickening ….getting complicated, as you will understand.
A guy named Owen Pierce showed up here a while back looking for you, saying he had read our “Book of William,” and that he is your biological brother. According to him, before you showed up at our house in Natural Bridge, you and he were two of more than several kids born in a shack at the edge of the Fort Drum military reservation … enough kids that after a few months as a baby in the house, you would each move to the chicken house out back, where you mostly looked after one another. Then you moved on. And he himself has moved to this area.
Oren Pierce wears black clothes and boots with high heels; teaches badmitton as a zen type sport, or so he says. Probably not in those boots though. He has shown up at the house a few times since first appearing and I have seen him around, mostly walking the roads. He has offered to look after the place when and if we travel, and has been submitting stories for our magazine about the stuffed animals in our trunk. We don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon, and I am not sure I would be ready to leave the place with him.
Any chance you might get back here sometime?
