I'm in first this time! Go me.
Really enjoyed this month, though I apologise in advance if some of the tropes/language is a bit rough to read in places. I tried to get the voice to come through, but it's definitely infected with a lot of my personal humour--hence why I shy away from trying to write comedy!
I wasn't sure how to handle the jump between the letter and the closing scene. I was tempted to make the letter italics, but thought that might make it hard to read, so I've left it as normal and made the final overview bold. Hopefully you can differentiate between the letter, the scene, and the closing documentary statement.
I didn't do the word count, but the letter portion is at least 900 of the 1350 words and contains most all of the dramatic events, so I'm crossing my fingers that falls into the requirements of the theme. Don't think I could make a 100% letter and find a way of closing it without it just abruptly cutting off.
Otherwise enjoy, and it should bring a smile to any Sci-fi gurus in some places at the very least.
