Dear Mum ,

I’ve finally made it to Oakridge . I ate my hot potatoes , what you have gave me in tinfoil . We had arrived in a small  village in Oakridge . It’s very quite here .

Once we got there , lots of people showed up, but I was the last one . I think it was about my rugged clothes.

Anyways , I’m staying with Mr and Miss Adam’s in a little wooden cottage . The water was fresh and cooling. Mr Adam’s let me pick some vegetable and fruit.

I have a small room ( it’s is so pink ) in the basement. I can’t hear smell or taste anything but I can still touch stuff in my room . Every night I hear nothing except owls howling in the starry black sky. The only light is when is morning, there’s a light near a the little window.

Guss what , Miss Adam’s let me go and feed her cats ( their names are called Ginger and Lucky ) she used to have three but he’s dead .

I go to school (is hell) but the lunch’s are good , I liked the eggs and the meat . I go with my friends ( I still carry my gas mask )

I hope you’re okey , I think adout you every day , hopefully I can meet you again.

your loving daughter ~Lilly Rose
