Final Letter

Wilt Chamberlain III
1st Tall Spindly Red Plan
Leaf 3, Watery Neighborhood

My Dearest Friend,

I hope this letter finds you well and that the despicable algae games are not disturbing the house. Thank you for your note and for inquiring about my health. The hospital is abysmal, the food is bland, and I miss our chess games. The only benefit of being here is that it is quiet.

Despite the doctor’s valiant efforts on my behalf, I don’t believe the medical care is working. Although the nurses do their best to keep me in good spirits, something I wish they wouldn’t try to do for it is quite annoying, I fear I will not survive the week.

I’d like to leave you my favorite monocle and ask that you don’t let anyone move into my room on leaf four. I couldn’t have asked for a better roommate. Thank you for always being quiet and composed during all the tank drama. You helped me keep my sanity. Please stay away from that monster Sasquatch; his mouth is so big that I fear he’ll one day try to eat you. Live long, my friend. I go before you into the ocean of the beyond quite unafraid.

Until we meet in the next life,

Sir Witherspoon
