XIV

I feel like I can sleep now. I don't know what else to say. The rest has been recorded by Katniss and others.

When you get lonesome for me, I want you to write a story.

It can be five words long, it can be five pages long.

I want you to write about what you feel when you see the barges coming in; what wonders you imagine living in the sea; what you wish when you find a sand dollar.

And then I want you to read it aloud, so I'll be sure to hear it.

Goodnight, my brightest star, my sweetest heart.

Goodbye.
