The itch to write

                              The letter that changed my life.             I closed my eyes even though I had turned the lights off. The night was dark but even the small beam of light sprouting from my neighbour’s room into mine made me feel agitated. I tried not to think too much but closed eyes made it worse. The more I thought about it, the more rapid my heart raced. Just then I could hear voices of gossip.
