Its short, but I like it better than that other story I posted as a journal, so I'm putting it here!","content":"Hey,\n\nI don't know why I'm telling you this.\u0026nbsp; I mean shit, I got a mom, right?\u0026nbsp; I got Emily, Jacob, Seth, and all them, but I'm telling you.\u0026nbsp; Ironic, ain't it?\u0026nbsp; Well, not much point keeping from the big news.\u0026nbsp; I'm dead now.\u0026nbsp; I know; sudden, unexpected, you never seen it coming from a guy like me.\u0026nbsp; Don't beat yourself up about it.\u0026nbsp; I'm happy, really, I am.\u0026nbsp; That's why I came here.\u0026nbsp; That's why I'm sending this to you.\n\nSo, the picture.\u0026nbsp; That balcony I'm looking off?\u0026nbsp; Stayed there one night when I was hitchhiking to Mount Rokko and had tea with this adorable old Korean couple.\u0026nbsp; I couldn't catch a lick of what they were saying, and probably vice versa.\u0026nbsp; We had a good time, though.\u0026nbsp; Big game of charades.\u0026nbsp; They invited me to stay the night.\u0026nbsp; I couldn't help coming back for this picture\n\nFucking beautiful picture.\u0026nbsp; Be careful with it.\u0026nbsp; Only shot of it in the world.\u0026nbsp; I deleted it from my camera after I got it printed.\u0026nbsp; I mean, there's probably some other picture of the same area.\u0026nbsp; But you'll never find this scene ever again, especially not after I'm dead.\u0026nbsp; Japanese are all paranoid about places people died - bet they'll change the whole thing up.\u0026nbsp; That means that this right here, the photograph on the back of this postcard, it's special, unique.\n\nYou know, fuck it.\u0026nbsp; Go ahead and do what you want with the thing.\u0026nbsp; It's not like I'll be around to stop you.\u0026nbsp; Don't you think it'd be a kinda funny justice for you to tear it up?"}
