The Envelope

After an exhausting day at school, Jack felt completely drained. The students had been unusually energetic, making it hard for anyone to focus. Worn out, he arrived home and greeted Jocelyn before grabbing the mail from its usual spot. He then sank into his beloved armchair, seeking some comfort.

As he sorted through the stack of envelopes, one in particular caught his attention. Jack carefully opened it, and as he read the letter, his posture suddenly stiffened, causing Jocelyn, who was sitting beside him on the plush sofa, to jump slightly. “What is it, Jack?” she asked with concern. But Jack was too stunned to find the words to explain the shocking contents of the unexpected letter.
