I'm bloody exhausted and scarred. But there's nothing more important than writing this letter to you. I don't know how old you'll be when it finds you. I hope you read this pre-fall pre-Kasper pre-Mr. Phillips. That would save you-us-a lot of pain. But even if you don't maybe especially if you don't...hold on Jack. Fight.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>They'll tell you Katherine isn't real and that the kids you had together aren't either. They'll say the shadow people demons and ghosts are figments of your imagination. That you should forget. Don't listen to them Jack. You're not crazy. And that man you see across the way in Apartment 3C...he's not a man. Not anymore. If you don't know what I'm talking about yet you will.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I'll tell you a secret: Time isn't linear. You can fold it dipping into the past present and future. You can find your way back to Katherine I promise. I'll tell you another: you can see and hear dead people. You can help ghosts move on from the in between. Some people call it a gift; the jury's still out on that one. Whatever you want to call it don't be frightened of it Jack. Use it. You'll need to if you want us to survive. Never lose sight or possession of the painting; it is our reason for reason; it holds time power and evil in its mystery. Know this: it also holds the secret to neutralizing the darkness. The painting is our ruby slippers! It will always be our portal home.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>How do I know all this? Because I am you Jack-an older version anyway. You are me. And our future...Katherine's future...it all depends on the choice you make. You're the only one who can control the shadows. You're the only one who can defeat him.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>With love and hope</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Yourself</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)><span></span>An eerie tone permeates the entire story with even mundane events feeling off-kilter.
