about the authors

July 11, 1996

Dearest Lorri,

I was thinking about what you said about hating to have to go to work, and not being able to concentrate on it while you’re there, and I’ve come to a conclusion. As soon as I am out, you have to quit your job, so we can leave and go to who knows where. Trust me, it’ll be fun, and we’ll have tons of strange, wonderful adventures. It’ll be great, and you won’t have to worry about going to a job you don’t like. I will hear no argument on it.
I’m dead serious, so I want you to agree to it. We’ll meet all kinds of people, go anywhere we want, and not do anything that we don’t want to (I’m not eating any vegetables). So what do you think? You have to say yes, because I’ll just keep bugging you until you do. The first place we have to see is that town where you grew up, you have to show me everything. Then I’ll show you West Memphis. After that, we can decide where to go by flipping a coin, or throwing darts at a map, or any other way we can think of. It’ll be strange, and beautiful, and magick. What do you think?
