Letters

I am in a room. Gordon is there and Sarah is there. Perhaps Susan as well. There is a staircase leading down to a landing and then down to what would be the exit. For some reason we are not able to leave the room. It is not really clear why, though some voice earlier had mentioned that it was sad that people don't send letters anymore. Gordon decides that in order for us to leave the room, we need to write letters to people. The plan sounds like a good one. I search through my Treo to find some addresses to send to. I decide I should send a letter to my grandmother and to Nicole. I begin working on Nicole's letter and have a very difficult time writing the word Nicole. For some reason I want to write that "l" prematurely. So I end up with something like "Niloce". Eventually I get it right and begin writing the letter. I'm writing about some deep topics, but I know that when she reads it she'll think I'm crazy. One of the rules we decided to make when writing these letters is not to mention our current circumstance. People would think it was insane and it could damage our chances of leaving. To deliver the letters, we throw them down the stairs in hopes that someone will pick them up. I find myself wanting to sleep rather than write a letter. Gordon, Susan, and Sarah have all written plenty of letters so maybe that will be enough. Eventually it becomes clear that we can in fact leave the room, but the downside is that anything we eat is tasteless and non-satisfying. So, we will starve if we don't find a way to reverse the curse that was placed on us. In the end, it turns into a love story, where the curse is reversed with the finding of my true love. Found at a skating rink. The details are fuzzy, unfortunately.
