sorry, meant to post this earlier, but first a little background.
i was at a gas station a few weeks ago and noticed thank you letters pinned up on a wall next to the mechanic's computer. a lot of them were just "dear blank, thank you for..." and i remember seeing something similar whenever i'd go to my doctor's office before i had surgery. and my mind started to go into thoughts about writing a fraudulent artifact in the form of a thank you letter addressed to whomever. it could be a gas station attendant, mechanic, doctor or something more interesting/disturbing/humorous like a stripper, hooker, sports team mascot, a girl or guy who enjoys cosplay, the list could go on. write a thank you letter in the view of a character who has received help in some way from someone that meant a great deal to them for whatever reason. think about hemingway's iceberg theory as you write this: 10% of the iceberg is shown above water while 90% of it is hidden under water. all of our stories have deeper meaning in them, let's write some that make people want to dive in to see the other 90%.
