Letter

     One day I shared a writing prompt on Facebook. It was to write a letter to a supper hero. A friend challenged me to write the letter, which I accepted. I had her pick the superhero. She chose Dash from The Incredibles. After I wrote the letter she asked if I would continue it and I probably will. Enjoy!!! Keep Writing!!!


Dear Dash,

                You are probably wondering who I am and why you received this letter in such a, how should I say, covert manner. I could not risk your parents, especially your father, would find out I contacted you and burn this letter. I would not blame your father, dear boy, if he did such a thing. He and I did not part ways under the best of circumstances. It does not matter at this point what it was we had disagreed on just know that we both want the same end...peace for the world. We both had different ideas on how to accomplish that. That is neither here nor there at this moment I still have not answered your first question. I, dear Dash, am your Grandmother Beth.
                Your father left me. not long after I heard whispers that he had become Mr. Incredible, married, and had three beautiful children. I was overjoyed that he was accomplishing what he had wanted to do.  I bided my time hoping that he would get in touch with me and introduce me to his family but he did not. My heart began to rusty like an old 50’s ford car. Not long after I was determined to meet my family. That is where you come in, Dash.
                From what I have observed of you is that you are a man of action, with a mind of your own just like your father and Grandfather, God rest his soul. Right now you are wondering why I contacted you and not your sister because you have the same curiosity I do. I do not have a cell phone tower so this is the only way to keep in touch for now.
                Dash, you are a clever boy. Within this letter I have given you clues that will lead you to the next letter until, eventually by midday today, you and I will meet. I hope that I will not be disappointed. I wait with joy in my heart.

Your Grandmother,
Beth
