Dear Towns-people:
For many years, I have been the sole protector of the town
that my ancestors had founded and nurtured into the splendor of today. I sent anonymous
letters to those who stray from the right path to prevent even the possibility
of evil that might otherwise have proliferated the community. Yet I have taken
no credit for my deeds because that I believe that it is my duty as a
Strangeworth to protect this town. However, it seems as if I have failed to
realise the scope and extent of the problem. People were corrupted by lack of insight,
insight that I supplied through my letters in order to prevent evil. It is
clear to be now that my guidance where not enough to stop this evil, and I feel
seriously mournful because of such.
As for the question of truth in my guidance,
I never concerned myself with petty truth when evil must be prevented. It is
better for me to use my sage intelligence and observational skills to spot
wrong in society than for people to suffer regret when evil happens. It is
better to remove unruly weeds from a garden with poison than to wait until they
sap and risk destroying the beautiful roses that reside in their rightful places.
In terms of my precious roses, I was outraged and bereaved. I will respond to this
as a disgraceful and ungrateful attack against the Strangeworth name, therefore
I plea for the immediate expulsion of people involved in this offence from our
town in order to preserve goodness.
Furthermore, I demand the shops and
services that had stopped serving me since I was revealed to be the hidden hand
that kept the community from evil to resume service as I am an integral aspect
of the lives of the population and shouldn’t be ignored. Ironically the postal service
continues to deliver an unending stream of crude parodies of my letters that
includes nothing but pure ugly hatred towards the good that the Strangeworth
name stands for. This only serves to remind me of the depth of my failure as
evil has taken over good honesty as the status quo.
Sincerely Saddened,
Adele Strangeworth
