Red Lace
Epilogue
“Dear Frank,
I hope you make sure no one finds this because that could cause quite the dilemma. I hope that the book had an effect on you like it did on me. Read it if you ever feel like you don’t matter, that’s what I do. Teaching you this year was a pleasure. You are a wonderful writer and an amazing person. You have so much talent and trust me when I say this, you are extremely attractive. Yeah, don’t think I didn’t notice your obvious flirting last semester. Your essay touched my heart Frank. I am so glad I could inspire you and help you become who you are now. That was my dream from the second I entered college. All I can advise you Frank, is to dream- dream big, and live however you fucking want. Hell, if I wore dresses while teaching an entire school year, you can pretty much do anything. Break the rules of society when it deems itself necessary, because since when have you ever been a rule following type of person? That’s right. And please, if you can do me any favor in return for what I’ve done for you, remember this, and live by it:
Art is the weapon
against life as a symptom
Defend yourself.
Go out into the world Frank, search and destroy.
-Miss. Way”
