Letter

Kats Beach

What's the color of a letter? Is an A a whispered amber? Is a B a bitter lemon? He didn't know.
But he kept writing those letters, his stories told in the tones of the chosen color.
The woman at the stand would smile benevolently and nod.
One day, "I have mail for you!" the envelope marked C! Cosmic latte, he said and they chuckled.
She already had many more letters ready and she hoped he'd skip the D, too many dark and deep colors in that one.
He never figured out it was her and she continued to smile.
