Letters From the War.

A shoebox of thin blue envelopes, censored lines, and “I’m fine” written in a trench. The letters tell one story; the people who wrote and waited for them tell another. Juna reads between the lines with whoever is left to ask.

What Juna asks

Between the censored lines.

“Read me one — and then tell me what was actually happening when it was written.”

“What couldn’t be said in a letter back then?”

“When the letters stopped coming, what did each day of waiting feel like?”
