Sitting on my empty desk is a white envelope. The handwriting scrawled across it is all too familiar, my father’s. The printing is capitalized, big and boxy. It fills me with a sense of panic and stops me in my tracks, even though I know what lies inside. I’ve read the letter hundreds of times, and scanned meticulously through each photo. Searching to see what went wrong. Everything about the envelope is ordinary; except nothing about the circumstance is. Written to Children’s hospital, and the…

“Don’t eat that. Stay away from there. That’s not good for you. The label says toxic.” So many things these days seem to be bad for our health. Who is to blame? It’s hard to say. When is the line between freedom and the good of the people crossed?
