Do you ever wonder what your life was leading up to had you not been transported to the In-Between? Or if you hadn't met a specific person that that would've kept you from getting trapped here? Like, do you think if you never met Harry, or the rest of your group, or Juniors Dad wasn't on shift that day, that you would've ended up here? Or that you were always destined to be in this place?

I think I was always supposed to be here. I've always felt out of place. More comfortable by myself. Aimless with school and jobs and relationships. And now here I am. In The In-between. Alone with myself, my thoughts, and my stories. I love stories. But, well, I'm sure you know this, they can get kind of,, stale, after a while.

I've been stuck here for a few years and at first, it was like Heaven. No people, but everything still moved around like there were people here. That's why I call it the in-between by the way. It's kind of just like everyone else in invisible and I'm the only one visible? Or maybe it's the other way around. Pretty sure my town is convinced it's been infested with ghosts. It was nice at first, if a bit of a dangerous learning curve. I got to read my backlog of books, play games, listen to the radio, though the signal is terrible on this side of the veil. But it started to get boring.

And then I heard your voice, which was MUCH clearer. It helped. Hearing you travel around was like my own little serial story. I miss the daily updates. I've gotten off track. Sorry, it's like I said. I'm very bored. Anyway besides the boredom due to a lack of socialization, I feel like I'm more free than I ever was. Free to learn, to read, to write, to ponder. And I've been thinking about the events that led me here lately. If I could've avoided it or if this was always to be my destination. I'm not sure what my answer would be. What do you think? Oh! Uh, you can call me Solitude. I was gonna go with a pun or something like SoliDUDE but,, I'm feeling introspective lately so I'll save the silly for later. Solitude, out.
