What’s In A Letter?
Uncle Max was as jovial in death as in life, Melinda chuckled.
One by one she discovered his letters by completing a series of navigational instructions from each. Midway through the fifth she froze. Right door, or left? Uncle wrote “the door”.
She decided on the right, but it did not lead her to the 6th letter, and there was no going back. Uncle’s rules.
“What’s in your bag?” she asked her brother.
“Candy, jokes, puzzles. You went through the wrong door,” brother grinned, popping gummy-bears into his mouth.
“Uncle Max should’ve written: Spying not allowed!” she squirmed, walking away.
