Violent+Crimes-Letter

Dear Ann,

I know this is wrong and I feel really bad about just leaving you a letter. I wish that I could tell you what I had done and my intentions face to face, but that is too dangerous. Out of my love for you I am concerned for your safety so I decided just to write a letter. So if you’ve found this letter don’t try and find me because I’m already gone. I have to go away for a while, and I really don’t know when I’ll be back. I have to go away because I did something really bad last night. The police are going to be looking for me so don’t be surprised if they come to the house. Last night, as you know, I was at John’s house and we had been drinking. This guy that John knew came up to his house and confronted John about some money or something that John had owed him. When John said that he wasn’t going to pay him, the guy pulled out a gun and started threatening him. I was scared for John’s life and that of my own so I pulled out my gun that I carry around and I shot the guy. The neighbors had heard the gunshot and so they called the cops. John and I were in the back yard trying to hide the body when we heard sirens coming up the road, John immediately told me that I needed to run so I wouldn’t get put in jail and so I did. I hope that you’ll forgive me, and I promise that one day I’ll come back to you.

Love, Harry
