The Adventures of Stevie #218
These stories were told to me by friends and other people. Some of them
are true. Some of them are only partly true. Some of them should have
been true. LOL
My first post about Stevie ("Call me Stephen!") was when he was 12 and
in summer camp and was told by another camper. This was from a time
before computers would fit on a desk and when people communicated with
friends in other countries by actual letters sent through the postal
service. When children did this those friends were called "penpals".
Carlos is Stevie's penpal in Argentina and knows English. This is a
fictional contrivance to enable Stevie to tell us his stories because
he isn't here in person. I think.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
Stevie's school is for gifted children who don't fit in regular schools.
The stories may not be posted in chronological order.
Stevie is 15 in this story, after year 5 of special school has ended.

Dear Carlos,
Your friendship means a lot to me. The more I learn the more I can tell
you. I like you. I live in a very big place where people wear orange
and red and yellow things. It is very quite. The part which is mine is
inside the big place. It has a living room and a kitchen and 2
bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. 1 bedroom is different from all the other
rooms. It do not have a window and the walls have something Tomba sed
is insulation on it. It has a different bed from the other bedroom in
it which is shiny and bright in many places. I have to sleep in that
room and on that special bed to get better. I do it. I want to get
better fast. I will write again soon.
I am your friend Stevie.
