Letter from Melody #1

So ShadeC4, over on the main site, asked me for some background on Travis. And I said 'sure'! And my writer-brain said 'no!'

'Brain,' I said. 'You can churn out a thousand words on obscure futuristic fortunetelling without even being asked for it. It's not like we don't already know this stuff. Piece of cake.'

'Worlds are different,' said the Brain. 'It's fine to just flat-out tell about worlds. People are for stories.'

So… we, uh, compromised, and you're getting a series of letters between Travis and his younger sister, who's been mentioned here and there, which will hopefully fill in some of the stuff ShadeC4 asked for and not annoy my writer-brain by being too direct. Or giving stuff away. Or whatever the hell it is the thing's sulking about.

I do apologize for the poor behavior of my subconcious, and promise to give it a thorough taste of the boot if I ever figure out where the damn thing is hiding.
