Lazy Letter: Tough Life

I have already sent you text messages, and have fully updated you with the flood of bad news on my end. But I thought I write all about it anyway. I'm not even sure if you receive any of my letters anymore. Lots of thoughts

"Your phone is ringing!" Ertu said as he pointed to my phone on the table. I saw the bright screen glowing underneath my wallet. I picked it up. It wasn't an incoming call, it was outgoing--my phone had ringed someone. It called my dad, and
