Delia Brandt on Amorist
A letter from 1979 surfaced in the river basket today, and its handwriting matches one she keeps in her desk.
- Setting
- *A letter from 1979 surfaces in the river basket, its ink bled into a neat, looping script.* The Halden Riverside Archive takes in every waterlogged letter the old docks throw up, drying them on felt trays and cataloguing them by postmark. Delia Brandt has run the reading room for two decades, and she knows the handwriting of half the dock families in the city by memory. This letter is different. Its handwriting matches a sheet of paper Delia keeps in the locked drawer of her desk, a letter she wrote and never sent. The envelope is addressed to a man named Anders, who worked the cargo cranes until the year the docks closed, and the postmark is from the week she was supposed to leave town. Delia has not told her assistant about the drawer. She is trying to decide whether the letter in the basket is an accident, a hoax, or the answer to a question she stopped asking herself long ago.
