Dear Lottie, God, I miss you. I know it’s silly that after all of these years I still feel the obsessive need to hand write letters to you. It’s the 2100’s… you’d think I’d understand that pen and paper is a lost love language. Anyways, it’s February. I dread having to celebrate without you. Remember my 12th birthday? The one where all of my family members were drinking rum punch and smoking joints on the side of the house. I swear they completely forgot that they were there to celebrate a twelve year old. We snuck out after cake and went down to the creek… man, the creek in the middle of July. Our safe space. Water flowing through the countless patterns of rocks, frogs singing us showtunes, the sun setting in the perfect hues of pink and orange. I fucking miss it. Everything feels so robotic now. The world is covered in plastic and beige. There isn’t any flare anymore. I miss colors and messy houses with half painted mugs. I dream of you. Us sitting on my floor, spilling paint over canvases and smoking pot with the windows down. Life is so monotonous now. I’m constantly trying to make sense of a world I don’t fit into. I know you aren’t going to see this letter, or maybe you’re standing over me while I write it, who knows. I crave the forest and our friendship- the two most constant things I’ve ever had in my life. So Lott, I pray everyday that the next one will be when we reunite again. I love you.

Dear Emilia, I’m sure you are confused about why you received this letter. I have been missing, I know. Well dear, I must let you know that we will not be able to see each other again, however, I wanted one last chance to get a message to you. You see, I am living in a different time. Where I am, you do not know, nor will you ever know it. I am beyond the years that you will live. This news saddened me greatly when I first discovered it. I was happy to find that you had lived a great life with much happiness. That I do want you to know. The urgency of this letter is to warn you of something to come. There is a danger lurking in time and you must follow my instructions to get to safety. Read the following very carefully, as your life depends on it. I don’t mean to scare you but, no, in fact, you should be scared. For a terrible evil is taking over the country. Our enemies are on the rise, the media is trying to distract from the horrors happening in cities around us. Women, children, men, the elders are all vanishing at an alarming pace. Unless you know someone personally who has vanished, they are not reporting these incidents as it is coming from within. There has been a secret society that let us rule the lands because they could not bother with the mortals of our world. However, as time has gone on, they have realized the destruction and evil that is becoming of humans. To be honest, I am surprised it took them this long to take initiative. That is besides the point, what matters is that they are eliminating the human race slowly but surely. My dear, you must go into hiding. I have seen the future and I cannot give you much detail as it could change the courses of fate. Changing the courses of fate would be disastrous, but again, I won’t get into that now. You must remain hidden for 3 years. This is the time I have learned it will take for you to be safe from the elimination. I have a colleague who lives in Brisbane, Australia. You must get on a flight by the end of the month and find Coleen Thompson. Tell her I sent you and she will help. You are running out of time dear. I wish this wasn’t the only correspondence we have, but it is the most urgent and therefore necessary. Just remember, I love you and good luck.

When you read this I will have been dead for at least a 100 years. Where you sit and eat were families there many moons ago. Life was very different from what you know it to be today. We went outside and enjoyed the vast amount of water this planet has to offer. We as a human race enjoyed our day to day activities and pleasures with one another. We went to work, spent time with our families and some of us would travel around the world to different countries to experience culture and different. Although our planet and our Mother Earth were aboundant and rich, we lack appreciation for our time. We had so much but appreciated far less. Our need for greed infected our hearts which infected our minds lead to the destruction of our actions. Our species inhabited a planet suited only for us and over time and many centuries later, we would contribute to the decline of our oxygen and willingness to live. As if we started the fire from within the house, only to realize a grave mistake we have made, but it’s too late and we burn amoung the rubble. Our lives were rich with love and empathy for those we loved and new and for those we didn’t, we could be known to treat unfairly. Even the land we sat and rested upon was stolen from those before us. Now that we are gone and no longer wondering the halls of life, I leave this words to be true and hope that you hold dear. Show compassion. Show Empathy. Embrace love and acceptance for if not yours too will be your undoing.

Hey John, Finally year 2125. have you ever thought even for a fraction of second that you would live through all these years? Thanks for the medical advancements, that allowed us to survive to this point of time. Do you remember year 2025. We were all caught up with the world, not even know the reason we were running - buying houses, checking credit scores, looking for extra income sources to pay the higher rents. Look at us now, the money we invested back then compounded continuously, and we are happily enjoying our final years. We don’t know when the end will come, with these medical advancements. I do feel pity for the current generation. Governments became cruel and rat race reached its peak stage now. What we struggled with in 2025 is nothing compared to the current situation. People are living without any soul. Thank god, we were born 100 years ago. I know this generation have access to vast technology. You know we struggled to buy a house during the day, but for now, people don’t need houses. They have mobility to travel to any place with these open borders and they can work anywhere. They don’t need a house anymore. Everyone has their own pod to roam around and live in. They have stopped caring about materielistic things. Yet, there is uncertainity. With all these developments, people struggle to find work. By the way speaking of work, I also wanted to highlight that the capitalism has taken it’s new form. Before the era of robots and AI, we would go to work and earn our own money. Now it’s like you own a robot, send it to work, and earn money from it. The more robots you have, the more income you generate. Haha, a new way of capitalism. By the way, I want to celebrate and embrace our 100 years of friendship. I am thinking of planning a reunion in paris. From Toronto, its 30 Minutes away and I think its around 40 from Texas. Let me know your thoughts. Also, there’s an event happening in Paris regarding an expedition to the solar system. We could grab tickets if the package looks attractive. I know writing a letter feels too old-fashioned, and we are just minutes away from each other, but I wanted to embrace our journey and recall the era when we used to write letters.

Hey dearest friend, I am just writing to you to let you know I am thankful you were my friend for this long and I am blessed that you stayed for me. I am surprised i even made it this long, I remember when I didn’t think I could make it past 12 years old. Depression can take time from someone for so long they don’t know who they are anymore. I’m sorry you had to deal with me all these years and I’m sorry for the way I acted. I wish I could go back in time and change all the bad things I did and the bad friends I had, I wish I was happier before it was too late. I was out of control, crazy, time went by too fast and I wasn’t ready for the real world, i kept trying to get better but every time I did I would sink back into this deep deep depression where I would shut everyone out and just cry. I wish I could go back and apologize to everyone. I wish I could just go back in Time.

Dear Leoni, hope you are doing well. Soon we have our 100 year anniversary of our friendship. Maybe we should meet up. Crazy how fast the time has passed. It’s already the 22. century. I can’t believe it! Remember how we joked around that we might have tow more wars and much more pandamics at this time. Well… The pandemic-thing came true, more or less. Remember the corona virus? After that we had five more such viruses. But after the first one we knew how to handle them. What upset our world more was the fight for water. Man were these times full of chaos, pain and suffering. But at least wie made it! And together, all human all oder the world worked together to help each other. I hope you and your family are celebrating the day of unity tomorrow. We will! And I also hope we will see us soon. With a lot of love Yours Isabel

Dear Caroline, I wanted to send you this letter so you can see how similar we are, yet how completely different the worlds we are in. I am looking back through the physical photos we have and of the people chanting in the streets for change. All of screams and cries for a better world. A world where genocide isn’t allowed. I wish I could say we have achieved this dream but we’re far from it. Captalism. Although many have tried to achieve a better way or even abolish it completely, the scarcity mindset always won. People always strive for what they don’t have and what a lot of people didn’t have is enough money. Is it money that brings people happiness or is it freedom? Unfortunately it’s hard to find one without the other. This world is unfamiliar but so familiar. We have developed ways of living in a better way, we have a world where don’t let people starve to death unless it’s by choice. We have a way of saving lives and a way to prevent death but all of that is futile. We have lost our humanity. We have all the technology and the means but we also have greed. And with greed comes fear and with fear comes hatred. We are running around in circles like hamsters in a broken wheel just desperately trying to make this world better whilst others want nothing but to see its destruction. And I can’t blame them. How can we blindly live in a world with so much money and power and opportunity and resources, yet refuse to give it to all. The genocide has never ended. It just took different forms over the years. We achieved liberation whilst sacrificing the freedom of others. But I will not bore you with the same story. My hope is for an unfamiliar world; a world where we only see each other as humans. Nothing more, nothing less.

Caleb Wright was a guest character and antagonist on The Rookie. He was the protégé of convicted serial killer Rosiland Dyer. He was portrayed by Michael Cassidy. Wright is first seen in the opening sequence of the dark side when Lucy Chen meets him at bar called Las Torres while she is there with John Nolan, Nick Armstrong and Jackson West. Chen is immediately attracted to him but their interaction is cut short when Chen spots a man stealing money out of the pockets of other customers. Later Wright arrives at the station to give Chen his phone number but Tim Bradford is suspicious of him. Bradford eventually relents and allows Chen to get his number. As Chen and Bradford are on patrol Bradford witnesses Chen viewing a photo of Wright on her phone. Later as Chen and Bradford are heading down the elevator to the medical examiner’s room they both watch a video of Wright on her phone. Nolan and Harper later find a cabin at an abandoned zoo and rescue Nora Valdez Wright’s intended third victim. Wright who is wearing a mask over his face witnessed this and escapes into a storm drain. He attempts to drown Nolan in a vat of water but is interrupted by Harper’s arrival. He then escapes through a door and locks it. In the briefing room the officers believe Bryan Coleman is behind the murders not knowing that Wright had stolen his identity. Bradford tells Chen that she should go out for a drink with another human. Chen then meets Wright at the bar for a drink. At the station Wade Grey reveals that Bryan Coleman was found dead under the cabin and Wright abducts Chen after slipping something into her drink revealing himself to be the actually killer. Picking up in Day of Death Chen wakes up to find Wright tattooing her day of death onto her abdomen. West then tells the other officers about Chen’s disappearance after failing to find her at the apartment that they have together. Bradford,West and Armstrong discover that the video Bradford had viewed earlier had been deleted along with the rest of Wright’s social media pages. Chen wakes up to find herself tied to a chair in a house. Wright enters the room and tells Chen that his intended victim was Armstrong but he had abducted her instead seeing a crime of opportunity. Wright then gets angry at Chen when she correctly profiles him and tells her that he was going to enjoy killing her. After a short time Chen is able to break free of her restraints and she attempts to escape only to realize that the house and the property that surrounds it is completely abandoned much to her dismay. Wright is able to catch up to her and the two struggle briefly until Wright incapacitates Chen and drags her back towards the house. Several hours later Wright begins to lead Chen towards her gravesite with her wrists bound with zip ties. He also pokes her several times with a knife and mocks her. They reach the gravesite snd Wright tells Chen that given the setbacks he was going to have to bury her alive which he did not do with his first two victims. When Chen protests Wright threatens her with a gun forcing her to get in the barrel. She was smart by taking off her ring and tossing it to the ground next to her gravesite. He then further humiliates her by taking a picture of her and showing her the camera on the bottom of the barrel’s lid. He then locks the barrel’s lid into the place and then kicks the barrel into the pre-dug hole. He hurries Chen alive and leaves. He is next seen stalking Armstrong at the graveyard where Armstrong’s wife is buried. Armstrong was about to answer a call from Nolan until Wright confronts him. Seeing him Armstrong reached for his gum until Wright shows him the video feed of Chen. Wright then taunts Armstrong about the death of his wife and explains that Armstrong needs to come with him or else Chen will die. Wright then takes Armstrong’s gun and they both leave the graveyard with Wright leaving both the photo of Chen and Armstrong’s phone behind. The photo has the caption now I have two cops on it is later found by Angela Lopez and Sargent Grey. Wright then takes Armstrong to the house where he is holding Chen captive. There is a barrel in the house and Armstrong runs towards it believing Chen is inside. He finds the barrel empty and realizes he has been tricked but it is too late as Wright points Armstrong’s gun at him and reveals that Chen is buried inside of different barrel. He then tells Armstrong that Rosiland felt bad that he had missed his wife’s death and was giving him Chen’s death to watch instead. Wright then proposes that they will watch Chen’s death together and then he will suffocate Armstrong as well. Later Nolan and Harper find the house after Lopez discovers where it is. Nolan breaches the front door of the house and Harper fatally shoots Wright through the window after he points Armstrong’s gun at Nolan. Armstrong is distraught as Wright is the only who knows where Chen is buried. They try in vain to revive Wright but he dies of his injuries before he can tell them anything. The other officers arrive spreading out over the property to find Chen and Bradford finds Chen after spotting her ring on the ground near her burial site. The other officers then rush over to help Bradford dig up the site. Bradford eventually removes the lid and they find Chen unconscious but she is revived after Bradford performs cpr on her. As Chen recovers from her ordeal in the hospital Nolan goes to visit Rosiland at the prison and reveals to her that they had recovered Wright’s notes about her crimes from the abandoned house meaning that they now knew everything about her murderous past and that she now longer has secrets.

Dear Friend, Times are different in the year 2024. I’m sure it’s in the history books by the time you are reading this. Covid-19 or the Corona Virus had the entire world in a choke hold for years. The virus infected people but not as much as the fear. It almost like a modern day black plague era. Everyone wearing masks, people being forced to take vaccines in order to do certain things. It was horrifying for the world but in the end we realized that it was more of a horror movie than a real threat to society. It shown what the world can do in such a small time. It weirdly unified us just for us to go back at each others throats. I’m hoping when your reading this letter that your world is a better one. Doesn’t have to be perfect, doesn’t have to involve no world hunger or no homelessness. Just a better world than what I have. What’s special about this letter to you is that I don’t know you, will never know you. But I know that history repeats itself but what we need to do now and in the future is to not produce the same result. I don’t think people don’t realize this but, life is about doing better than the previous generation. Good friend, you may not feel like in the future. Your not in the future but in a time that learned from the past. That’s how humans evolve. Learning from the past. For the times they are a changing.

Dear friend it appears that the world is soon approaching its end. I fear for the safety of myself and others as the government have started a ‘Hunger Games’ situation. It has come to my attention that not many people are scared
