      Sloth

      This book is the first standalone in a collection of books, each inspired by a sin and centered on a huge secret.

      sloth: disinclination to action or labor; indolence; spiritual apathy and inactivity

      Summary

      Dear A. –

      I am writing to express my gratitude for your gift. There are no sufficient words, but please accept my sincerest thank you.

      Yours,

      R.

      She writes me back.

      I didn’t expect that.

      She tells me she’s a lover of chicken pizza and video games, a hot sorority girl with the nickname Sloth. She wants to know something about me in return. She says I owe her.

      This is how she saves my life. She doesn’t even know it. We’ve never even seen each other. But I need a reason. Just one reason to continue. She becomes mine.

      The anonymity is good. She doesn’t need to know me, but I need her kindness. We both live our lives: a letter here, a post card there. For three years, I escape my demons. And then one day I’m pulled back in.

      I’ve resigned myself to what I know is coming. Until the girl I’m spanking gives her safe word: Sloth.

      And then the lie I’m living starts to unravel.

      To Jamie Davis–

      For Much Slothing

      Dear A. –

      I am writing to express my gratitude for your gift. There are no sufficient words, but please accept my sincerest thank you.

      Yours,

      R.

      October 17, 2011

      Dear. R. ~

      I hope you don’t mind me writing back. I don’t mean to be an asshole, but I guess I was a little…disappointed by your letter. I have accepted your sincere thank you and have folded it into an origami sparrow that I wear around my neck. Just kidding. I don’t wear anything around my neck except my trusty sloth necklace. Why a sloth? It’s my nickname. It suits me because I’m slow-moving, and I like to sleep. Also, sloths are fucking adorable and weird. What better combination? I promise I am not a stalker, at least not in my real life, but the truth is, I would love to hear a little bit about you.

      ~Sloth

      October 31, 2011

      Sloth -

      Please don’t waste your time writing to me. I am not interested in befriending you. We are close enough already, don’t you think? In any event, have a wonderful life.

      R.

      November 11, 2011

      R.,

      Yeah, I guess so.

      For what it’s worth, I’m a Georgia peach with a Final Fantasy obsession and a never-ending appetite for chicken pizza. (That’s pizza with chicken on it. FABULOUS.) I hope my Sloth-ly traits haven’t rubbed off on you too much.

      Have a wonderful life yourself.

      -S.

      P.S. Are you male or female?

      November 23, 2011

      Sloth,

      I am male. And surprised you had to ask.

      -R.

      December 1, 2011

      R.-

      I can’t believe you paid the postage on that. You must be a very interesting person. Interesting = weird. Remember, though, I like weird. Are you near my age? I’m 18. I turned 18 this past April, but I’m only a senior in high school. Weird, right? See…I have secrets too. I think I’ll hoard them until you cough up some of yours. You might say you owe me?

      Too much?

      Too soon?

      Please don’t report me.

      I swear, I’m not as weird as I seem on paper. I’m just bored and curious. And sealing this into an envelope now, so I don’t get tempted to throw it into the fire.

      -Slothfully Yours

      December 19, 2011

      Sloth-

      You have a fire in Georgia? Hmm. Are you anemic?

      -R.

      December 26, 2011

      R. –

      Are you inquiring about the quality of my blood? Believe me, if blood was money, I’d be king.

      The fire was a bon fire. The night I wrote that letter, my friend Bentley and I went to a field party. It was cold, for here. I think like 43 degrees. Have you ever been to a field party? A kegger? A rave? I’d like to think so. Somehow I imagine you behind a desk, in a suit or something. Might I ask your age, sir?

      -Sloth

      P.S. Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah—or both!

      January 8, 2012

      Sloth-

      Why not a queen? You think a king is superior? How very un-feminist of you.

      You might ask my age. If you did, I might or might not tell you.

      Forty-five degrees is not cold. Where I am, it’s 9 today. I went outside and got icicles in my nose.

      I don’t do suits. Try jeans, a ratty old jacket, and boots.

      Age is just a number. My number isn’t far from yours.

      I’ve been to a few house parties. Vaped a little. I don’t drink much but like vodka—top shelf.

      Is that enough to pay my debt?

      -R.

      January 20, 2012

      R. ~

      Vape, you say? What is it to vape? Is it vaping? Vape-ing?

      You owe me no debt. That was a rude thing for me to say. I’m sorry.

      How not far from my number is yours? Are they side by side? Or a few seats away from each other? What do you do every day? Are you a wood-chopper? I am now picturing you in flannel and work boots. I think I kind of like that look.

      Are you in New York? Somewhere else? Are you living with family?

      I’ve got stalker tendencies, okay? So sue me.

      I’m getting really tired of school. I can’t wait for college!

      -Sloth

      February 2, 2012

      Sloth-

      I am in New York state. How did you know?

      This seems like the right time to reiterate my thanks. I’m sorry it was so…stiff originally. Yeah, I said stiff.

      Vaping is something one does with marijuana. It’s like…smoking from a bong, but the impurities are removed via…some process. It involves a lot of heat. That’s all I know. It’s been a while.
