And they call letter-writing a lost art

poison_pen2Bills are a bummer, but the ominous little missive a Red Cloud Drive woman found tucked inside her mailbox one recent morning makes a Final Warning notice from Excel look like a mash letter by comparison. Neatly typed and addressed to “the residents,” it read “BEWARE, FOR THEY ARE COMING FOR YOU. STAY AWAY FROM THE DARKNESS. YOU’RE [sic] ACTIONS WILL BE PUNISHED TO THE FULL EXTENT. ONCE AGAIN BEWARE.” Whoo, boy. The unsettled postal customer said she didn’t know who might have sent such a message, but did mention having a quarrelsome history with a certain neighbor. A certain neighbor said she didn’t have anything to do with the menacing memo and didn’t much appreciate being implicated. With that, the case was forwarded to the dead letter office.
