My Wife Slept Peacefully Beside Me… When Suddenly I Got a Facebook Notification: A Woman from My Past Asked to Be Added as a Friend I Accepted Her Friend Request and Messaged Her: “Do We Know Each Other?” She Replied: “I Heard You Got Married, But I Still Love You.” She Was an Old Friend, Looking Stunning in Her Profile Picture. I Closed the Chat and Looked at My Wife Sleeping Soundly After a Long Day at Work. Watching Her, I Reflected on How Safe She Felt Sleeping Peacefully in Our New Home Together. She’s Far from Her Parents’ House, Where She Used to Spend Every Day Surrounded by Family. When She Was Upset or Sad, Her Mum Was There for Comfort, Her Siblings Would Make Her Laugh, and Her Dad Always Brought Her Favourite Things—Yet She Trusted Me Completely. All These Thoughts Ran Through My Mind, So I Picked Up My Phone and Hit “BLOCK.” I Turned Back to Her and Fell Asleep by Her Side. I’m a Man, Not a Boy. I Swore to Be Faithful to Her—And I Always Will. I’ll Fight Forever to Be a Husband Who Never Betrays His Wife or Breaks Up His Family…

My wife was asleep next to me… when suddenly, a notification popped up on Facebook. A woman had

No Instructions Given Sasha Received a Letter as a Photo on His Phone—Blue Ink on Squared Paper, Signed ‘Grandad Nick.’ Underneath, a Brief Note from Mum: ‘He Writes Like This Now. You Don’t Have to Reply If You Don’t Want.’ Sasha Zoomed In to Read the Lines: ‘Hi, Sasha. I’m Writing from the Kitchen. Met a New Friend: My Glucose Meter. It Scolds Me in the Morning if I Eat Too Much Bread. The Doctor Says I Should Go on More Walks, but Where Should I Walk When My Friends Are All in the Cemetery, and You’re Off in London. So, I Walk Down Memory Lane Instead. Today I Remembered How Back in ’79 We Used to Unload Freight at the Station. The Pay Was Pennies, but You Could Always Sneak a Few Crates of Apples. Wooden Boxes with Metal Handles. Sour Green Apples, but Still a Treat. We’d Eat Them Right There on the Embankment, Perched on Cement Sacks. Hands Grey from Dust. Not Exactly Clean, but Delicious All the Same. Just Reminiscing, That’s All—Not Here to Lecture. You’ve Got Your Own Life, I’ve Got My Check-Ups. If You Fancy, Write About the Weather and Your Exams. Your Grandad, Nick.’ Sasha Smiled at the ‘Glucose Meter’ and ‘Check-Ups.’ The Messenger Note Read: ‘Sent an Hour Ago.’ He’d Phoned Mum, but She Didn’t Pick Up. So, It’s Really ‘Like This Now.’ He Looked Through the Chat. The Last Messages from Grandad Were Voice Notes from a Year Ago: Short Birthday Wishes, and One ‘How’s Uni Going?’ Sasha Had Replied with an Emoji and Disappeared. Now, He Looked at the Photo of the Squared Paper for a Long Time, Then He Started to Type. ‘Hi Grandad. Weather Here: Three Degrees and Wet. Exams Start Soon. Apples Go for £2.50 a Kilo Now—Not Great for Apples Here. Sasha.’ He Thought About It, Erased ‘Sasha,’ Wrote Simply ‘Grandson Sasha.’ Then Hit Send. A Few Days Later, Mum Forwarded a New Photo. ‘Hi Sasha. Got Your Letter. Read It Three Times. Decided to Reply Properly. The Weather Here’s About the Same as Yours, Just Not as Many Trendy Puddles. Snow in the Morning, Water by Lunch, Sheet Ice by Evening. I’ve Slipped a Couple Times—Seems It’s Not My Time Yet. Since We’re on Apples—Let Me Tell You About My First Real Job. I Was 20, Working in the Factory Fitting Lift Parts. Always Noisy, Something Clanking, Air Full of Dust. My Overalls Were Grey—Could Never Get Them Clean. Fingers Always Full of Splinters, Nails Black with Oil. But I Was Proud—Had an Entry Pass, Came in through the Main Gate, Felt Like a Proper Grown-Up. Best Bit Wasn’t the Pay, It Was Lunch. In the Canteen, Big Bowls of Soup, and If You Got There Early You’d Get Extra Bread. We’d Sit Together Eating in Silence. Not Because We Had Nothing to Say, Just Because We Were Worn Out. The Spoon Felt Heavier Than a Wrench. You’re Probably Sitting There With Your Laptop, Thinking This is Ancient History. Sometimes I Wonder—Was I Happy, Or Just Too Busy to Notice. Aside from Studying, Are You Working? Or Do People Your Age Just Make Up Startups Now? Grandad Nick.’ Sasha Read This While Waiting in Line for a Kebab. People Argued, Advertisements Blared from the Counter. He Found Himself Re-Reading the Bit About Soup and Heavy Bowls. He Wrote Back Right There, Leaning on the Counter. ‘Hi Grandad, I Work as a Delivery Driver. Mostly Takeaways, Sometimes Paperwork. No Entry Pass, Just an App That’s Always Freezing. But I Sometimes Eat at Work Too—Not Stealing, Just Not Enough Time to Get Home. I Buy the Cheapest, Eat in Doorways or In a Mate’s Car. Also in Silence. About Being Happy—Not Sure. Usually Too Busy to Notice. But Canteen Soup Sounds Good. Grandson Sasha.’ He Thought About Adding Something About Startups, but Decided to Leave It Be—Grandad Could Fill in the Gaps Himself. The Next Letter Was Unexpectedly Short. ‘Hi Sasha. Being a Delivery Driver Is No Joke. Now I Picture You Not As a Kid Behind a Screen, But As a Bloke in Trainers, Always on the Move. Since You Mentioned Work, I’ll Tell You About When I Picked Up Extra Shifts on a Building Site Between Factory Rotas—When Money Was Tight. Carrying Bricks Up to the Fifth Floor on Wooden Stairs. Dust up Your Nose, in Your Eyes, in Your Ears. By Evening I’d Take Off My Boots and Sand Would Fall Out. Your Gran Used to Tell Me Off for Ruining the Linoleum. Funny Thing Is, I Don’t Remember The Exhaustion As Much As One Detail. There Was a Lad on Site Everyone Called ‘Smithy.’ He’d Arrive Before Everyone Else and Sit on an Upside-Down Bucket Peeling Potatoes He’d Brought in from Home. At Lunch, He’d Chuck them in a Saucer Over the Hob and the Smell of Boiled Spuds Would Fill the Whole Floor. We’d Eat with Our Hands, Sprinkle a Bit of Salt from a Paper Packet. Tasted Like Nothing Better. Now I’m Sitting in My Kitchen Looking at a Bag of Shop Potatoes, and It’s Not the Same. Maybe It’s the Spuds. Maybe It’s Just Age. What Do You Eat When You’re Tired? Not Takeaways—Proper Food. Grandad Nick.’ Sasha Didn’t Reply Right Away. He Thought About ‘Proper Food.’ He Thought Back to Last Winter—After a 12-Hour Shift, He’d Bought Frozen Ravioli from a 24-Hour Shop, Boiled Them in the Dorm Pot, The Same One Someone Else Used for Sausages. The Ravioli Fell Apart, the Water Went Cloudy, But He Ate the Lot, Standing by the Window—No Table. After Two Days, He Wrote Back. ‘Hi Grandad, When I’m Worn Out, Usually Eggs. Two or Three, Sometimes with a Bit of Sausage. Pan’s Seen Better Days, But It Fries. No Smithy in Our Halls, Just a Flatmate Who Always Burns Things and Swears. You Write a Lot About Food. Were You Hungry Back Then, Or Are You Now? Grandson Sasha.’ He Immediately Regretted That Last Question—Felt Rude—But Sent It Anyway. The Reply Came Quicker Than Usual. ‘Sasha, Good Question About Hunger. Back Then I Was Young and Always Hungry. Not Just For Soup or Potatoes—For a Motorbike, a Decent Pair of Shoes, My Own Room So I Didn’t Have to Listen to My Dad Coughing All Night. Wanted Respect—To Walk Into a Shop Without Counting Change. To Have Girls Notice Me, Not Pass Me By. Now I Eat Fine—the Doctor Tells Me Off Actually. I Write About Food Because It’s Something You Can Describe and Remember. Taste Is Easier Than Explaining Shame. Since You Asked, I’ll Tell You a Story—But No Life Lessons, I Promise. I Was 23, Already Dating the Woman Who’d Become Your Gran, but We Were Rocky. The Factory Announced They Were Sending a Team Up North for Good Money, Enough to Buy a Car in Two Years. I Was All In—I Pictured Myself Coming Home with a Brand-New Escort, Driving Her Round Town. But There Was a Catch—She Told Me She Wouldn’t Go. Sick Mum, Job, Friends Here, Couldn’t Handle the Cold and Darkness Up North. I Told Her She Was Holding Me Back. Said If She Loved Me, She’d Understand. I Was Ruder, but You Get the Idea. So I Went On My Own. After Six Months, the Letters Stopped. Two Years Later, I Came Back with Savings and a Car. She’d Married Someone Else. For Ages I Told Everyone She’d Betrayed Me—That I’d Done it All for Her. Truth Is, I Chose Money and Machines Over a Person. And Didn’t Admit It to Myself for Years. That Was My Appetite Back Then. You Asked What I Felt—At the Time I Felt Proud. Then for a Long Time, I Pretended I Felt Nothing. If You Don’t Want to Reply, That’s Fine. I Know You’ve More Important Things Than Old Men’s Stories. Grandad Nick.’ Sasha Read It Over and Over. The Word ‘Shame’ Hooked Him Like a Fish. He Tried Typing ‘Do You Regret It?’ and Deleted It. Then ‘What If You’d Stayed?’ and Deleted That Too. In the End, He Sent: ‘Hi Grandad, Thanks for Telling Me That. I Don’t Know What to Say. The Way We Talk About Gran, It’s Like She Was Always Just Gran, Like There Were No Other Options. I Don’t Blame You. I Recently Chose Work Over Someone Too. Had a Girlfriend Around the Time I Started as a Courier—Started Getting Good Shifts, Did Overtime. She Said We Barely Saw Each Other, I Was Always on My Phone, Snapping at Her. I Said Life Would Get Easier, Just Needed to Stick It Out. Eventually She’d Had Enough, Left. I Said It Was Her Problem. I Was Ruder, But You Get the Picture. Now, When I Come Back to the Dorm at 11pm and Fry Eggs on My Own, I Sometimes Wonder if I Chose Deliveries Over Someone. And Also Pretend It Was the Right Thing. Maybe It’s in the Family. Sasha.’ The Next Letter from Grandad Was on Lined Paper, Not Squared—Mum Explained by Voice Note He’d Run Out of His Usual Pad. ‘Sasha, That’s a Good Line—About It Being in the Family. In Our Lot, Everything’s Blamed on Blood. If They Drink—It’s Because Their Grandad Did. If They Shout—It’s Because Gran Was Strict. Truth Is, Each Time You Still Choose. It’s Just Easier to Pretend It’s Inherited Than Admit You’re Scared. When I Came Back from Up North, I Thought Everything Was New—Car, Room in a Hostel, Money in My Pocket. But Every Night I’d Sit on the Bed, Not Knowing What to Do with Myself. Friends Had Moved Away, The Factory Boss Changed, Only Dust and an Old Radio Waiting at Home. Once I Went and Stood Outside the House of Your Not-Quite-Gran. Watched the Windows—Light in One, Dark in Another. Waited Until I Was Frozen. Then She Came Out with a Pram and a Bloke Beside Her, Hand on Her Arm, Laughing About Something. I Hid Behind a Tree. Watched Until They Went Round the Corner. Probably the First Time I Realised No One Betrayed Me. I Picked My Path, She Hers. But It Took Me Ten Years to Admit That. You Wrote You Picked Work Over a Partner. Maybe It Was Actually Choosing Yourself. Maybe Right Now, Getting Out of Debt is More Important Than Going to the Cinema. Not Good or Bad—Just a Fact. The Worst is How Rarely We Say Plainly, “This is More Important to Me Right Now Than You.” Instead, We Wrap It in Fancy Words and People End Up Hurt. I’m Telling You This Not Because I Want You to Win Her Back. Honestly, I Don’t Know If You Should. Just—Maybe Someday You’ll Stand Under a Window and Realise You Could Have Been More Honest. Your Old Grandad Nick.’ Sasha Sat in the Dorm Corridor, Phone Warm in His Palm. Outside, Cars Sloshed Through Puddles. Someone Smoked on the Stairs. In the Next Room, Music Thudded Through the Wall. He Thought for a Long Time About What to Say. He Remembered Standing Under His Ex’s Window When She Stopped Picking Up. Watching Her Curtains, the Light in Her Flat; Thinking Maybe She’d Come to the Window. She Didn’t. He Typed: ‘Hi Grandad, I’ve Stood Under a Window Too. Hid When She Came Out With Some Guy—He Had a Rucksack, She Had a Shopping Bag. They Laughed. I Felt Wiped from Her Life. But Now Reading Your Words I Wonder if I Walked Out Myself. You Said It Took You Ten Years to Realise—Hope I Get There Quicker. I’m Not Going to Chase Her. I’ll Just Try to Stop Pretending I Don’t Care. Grandson Sasha.’ The Next Letter Changed Topic. ‘Sasha, You Once Asked About Money. Didn’t Answer Because I Didn’t Know Where to Start. I’ll Try Now. In Our Family, Money’s Like the Weather—It’s Mentioned Only When Things Get Bad or Strangely Good. Your Dad Once Asked Me What I Earned. I’d Just Had a Good Week with Extra Shifts—Said The Total. He Goggled, “Wow, You’re Rich!” I Laughed – “Not Really.” Couple Years Later, I Lost My Job—Half the Wages. Your Dad Asked Me Again How Much I Made. I Told Him. “Why So Little,” He Asked, “Are You Not Working Hard Enough?” I Snapped at Him—Told Him He Knew Nothing, Was Ungrateful. Really, He Was Just Trying to Make Sense of the Numbers. Years Later, I Realised That’s When I Taught Him Not to Ask Me About Money. He Grew Up Never Asking. Just Quietly Got Weekend Jobs, Fixed Things for People. And I Kept Expecting He’d Guess How Tough It Was by Himself. I Don’t Want to Make That Mistake With You. So I’ll Say It Straight. My Pension’s Not Huge, but There’s Enough for Food and Pills. Not for a Car Anymore, but I Don’t Need One. Now I Save Up for New Teeth—the Old Set Can’t Keep Up. How About You? Getting By? Not That I’m About to Send You Cash and Socks, Just Want to Know You’re Not Skipping Meals or Sleeping on the Floor. If It’s Awkward to Answer, You Can Just Say ‘Alright.’ I’ll Understand. Grandad Nick.’ Sasha Felt a Tightness in His Chest. He Remembered Asking Dad about Wages, Only to Be Fobbed Off with Jokes or a Cross ‘You’ll Learn One Day.’ He’d Grown Up Thinking Money Was something Embarrassing. He Typed: ‘Hi Grandad, I’m Not Hungry and I Don’t Sleep on the Floor. I’ve Got a Bed—Even a Mattress (Not Fancy, but Does the Job). I Pay My Own Rent, Made That Deal with Dad. Sometimes It’s Late, but I’ve Not Been Chucked Out Yet. Food’s Covered if I Don’t Buy Stupid Stuff. If Money’s Tight, I Just Grab More Shifts—Turn Into a Zombie Afterwards, But That’s My Choice. Wish It Was Easier to Ask You the Same Back, Like: “Grandad, Are You Alright?” But You’ve Already Answered. Honestly, It’d Be Simpler If You Just Wrote “I’m Fine” Without Explaining. But I Get That Grown-Ups Never Really Say Much. Thanks for Telling Me About Money. Sasha.’ He Fiddled with the Phone, Then Sent a Second Message: ‘If You Ever Want to Buy Something and Don’t Have Enough, Let Me Know. I Can’t Promise I Can Help But I’d Rather Know.’ Then Sent It Before He Could Change His Mind. Grandad’s Reply Was the Most Shaky—Letters Dancing Across the Page. ‘Sasha, Read Your Message About “If You Need.” At First, I Wanted to Say I Don’t Need Anything. That I’m Fine, Just Old, Only Need My Pills. Then I Wanted to Joke—That If I Really Needed Something, I’d Ask for a New Motorbike. But Then I Thought—All My Life I’ve Pretended to Be a Strong Man Who Can Do It All Alone. Ended Up As an Old Bloke Who’s Scared to Ask His Grandson for Anything. So I’ll Say This: If I Ever Really Need Something I Can’t Afford, I’ll Try Not to Pretend It’s Unimportant. For Now, I’ve Got Tea, Bread, Pills, and Your Letters. That’s Not Sentimental, Just Listing What I’ve Got. You Know, I Used to Think We Were Completely Different—You with Your Apps, Me With My Radio. But Now I See We’ve Got a Lot in Common. We Both Hate Asking for Help. We Both Pretend We Don’t Care When, Really, We Do. Since We’re Being Honest, Let Me Tell You Something No One Talks About in Our Family. You May Not Like It. When Your Dad Was Born, I Wasn’t Ready. New Job, We’d Just Got a Shared Room in a Hostel, and I Thought Things Were Looking Up. Then: Screaming Baby, Nappies, Sleepless Nights. I’d Come Home After Night Shifts and He’d Still Be Screaming. I’d Lose My Temper. One Time, I Threw the Bottle Hard Against the Wall and It Smashed. Milk on the Floor. Gran Cried, Baby Screamed, I Just Stood There Wanting to Leave and Never Come Back. I Didn’t Leave. But For Years I Pretended That Was Just a Bad Day. Truth Was, I Was Pretty Close To Running. And If I Had, You Wouldn’t Be Reading These Letters. Not Sure Why You Need to Hear This—Maybe So You Know I’m Not a Hero. I’m Just an Ordinary Man Who Sometimes Wanted to Walk Out. If You Want to Stop Writing, I’ll Understand. Grandad Nick.’ Sasha Read, Oscillating Between Hot and Cold Inside. The Image of Grandad Had Always Been a Warm Blanket, the Smell of Oranges at Christmas—Now It Was a Tired Guy in a Rented Room, Screaming Kid, Milk on the Floor. He Remembered That Last Summer, When He Worked at Kids’ Camp, He’d Yelled at a Boy Who Was Forever Whining. Grabbed Him Harder Than He Should. That Night, Sasha Lay Awake, Thinking He’d Make a Terrible Dad. He Looked a Long Time at the Blank Reply Box. His Fingers Typed ‘You’re Not a Monster.’ Deleted. ‘I Still Love You.’ Deleted—Couldn’t Say It Yet. In the End, He Sent: ‘Hi Grandad, I Won’t Stop Writing. I Don’t Know How You’re Supposed to Respond to That in Our Family. We Either Say Nothing or Joke. Last Summer I Worked at a Camp. There Was a Kid Who Cried All the Time. One Day I Lost It and Yelled So Much It Scared Me. Spent That Night Thinking I Was a Bad Person and Shouldn’t Have Kids. What You Wrote Doesn’t Make Me Think Less of You—It Just Makes You Real. Don’t Know If I Could Ever Be That Honest with My Own Kid Someday, but Maybe I Could at Least Try Not to Pretend I’m Always Right. Thanks for Not Leaving Back Then. Sasha.’ He Sent It—For the First Time Waiting for A Reply Like Something That Mattered, Not Just a Formality. Two Days Later, Mum Texted Instead of a Photo: ‘He’s Learned Voice Messages—But Asked Me to Write It for You.’ A New Photo Appeared of Lined Paper. ‘Sasha, I Read Your Letter and Thought—You’re Already Braver Than I Was At Your Age. At Least You Admit When You’re Scared. Back Then, I Pretended I Was Unshakable, and Ended Up Breaking Furniture. I Don’t Know If You’ll Be a Good Dad. Neither Do You. You Only Find Out as You Go. But the Fact You Even Wonder Says A Lot. You Said I Seem ‘Real’ to You Now. That’s the Best Compliment I’ve Had. Usually People Call Me ‘Stubborn,’ ‘Difficult,’ ‘Headstrong.’ No One’s Called Me ‘Real’ in Years. Since We’re At That Point, I Wanted to Ask—But Felt Awkward. If My Stories Get Too Much, Tell Me. I Can Write Less or Only On Holidays. I Don’t Want My Past to Weigh You Down. And If You Ever Want to Visit—For No Reason At All—I’ll Be Home. I’ve Got a Spare Stool and a Clean Mug Here. And Yes, I’ve Checked—It’s Clean. Your Grandad Nick.’ Sasha Smiled at the Bit about the Mug. He Pictured the Kitchen—Glucose Meter on the Table, Spuds by the Radiator, The Spare Stool. He Snapped a Photo of His Shared Student Kitchen: Piled-Up Dishes, the ‘Scary’ Frying Pan, A Carton of Eggs, A Kettle, Two Mugs—One with a Chip, A Jar of Forks on the Windowsill. He Sent the Photo With This: ‘Hi Grandad, Here’s My Kitchen. Got Two Stools, Enough Mugs Too. If You Ever Want to Visit, I’ll Be Home—Or Nearly Home. You Haven’t Overstayed Your Welcome. Sometimes I Don’t Know What To Say, But That Doesn’t Mean I’m Not Reading. If You Like, Tell Me Something Not About Work or Food—Something You’ve Never Told Anyone. Not Because It’s Shameful, Just Because There Was No One To Tell. S.’ He Sent It and Realised He’d Just Asked an Adult in His Family a Question He’d Never Asked Before. He Set the Phone Down, Face Down—So He Wouldn’t Miss a New Message. The Eggs Went Cold, but He Ate Them All the Same, Slowly, As if Sharing Them with Someone. They Never Wrote ‘Love’ Outright in Any Message. But There Was Something Between the Lines—For Now, That Was Enough for Both of Them.

Without Instructions Alex received a message in his phonejust a photo of a lined piece of paper.
