FOUND by Janet in Denver, Colorado

Three years ago when I was a case worker, some kid on my caseload brought this letter to me. He had just found it in an alley behind our office. He let me have it when I told him about FOUND Magazine– but I forgot all about it until recently.

This letter was found in Denver, Colorado so I guess Caroline and Ken ended up moving there. I hope that Poe and Rob were able to work it out for Brook’s sake.

Paths Far Apart

FOUND by Justin Tyler in Denver, Colorado

I found this in the back of a journal I was flipping threw in an ARC thrift store just outside of Denver. It blows my mind that this heart-to-heart letter sat unread and untouched for almost 30 years. It might have been a rough draft, but the journal I found it in had no other pages torn out that I could see and nothing else was written in it. Why it never made it to Lisa I guess is up for speculation. Thank you Jon, Now your letter was’ent written in vain.

Home Security

FOUND by Ann in Durango, Colorado

While volunteering with a local organization a few years back, I was responsible for sorting through stacks and stacks of book donations. Among the books, I often found photos, notes, bookmarks, and other stray objects. This was perhaps the most disturbing note I ever found. I hope it’s mere fiction, but fear otherwise. We have our share of paranoid conspiracy theorists and survivalists living in the mountains around here.

Halloween Goodness

FOUND by Jess in Durango, Colorado

I was walking home this morning and I found this picture on the curbside a few days before Halloween. It is only about 2 x 3.5 inches. I think it was a sticker photo that got left out in the rain. I imagine that it must have slipped out of someone’s pocket when they were bringing in the groceries. I love how the layers of film are pealing away. The picture is great too.
